Setup environment for a new Django project

• Create a new Project folder and navigate to it with $ cd
• Create Python virtual env $ python3 -m venv my_venv
• Activate virtual env $ source my_venv/bin/activate
• To deactivate virtual env $ deactivate (In case you need)
• Install django $ pip install django
• Install other package dependencies with $ pip install <package_name>. The best way to install all necessary packages is to create a requirements.txt file and list all the packages and run $ pip install -r requirements.txt

Start a new Django project

Activate the virtual environment first then

    (env) $ django-admin startproject <projectname> .

Note: If you want to avoid creating the additional top-level project folder, you can add a dot (.) at the end of the django-admin startproject command. The dot skips the top-level project folder and creates your management app and the manage.py file right inside your current working directory

Create an app

   (env) $  python manage.py startapp <your_app_name>
