Django is one of the most commonly used frameworks for web development today. It can be used in multi functional large scale database driven web application. Though it was created mainly for the means of rapid development of web application, it has well proven on its account for reliability and scalability. So here I am going to share some of my experience during the set up process which many of us find awkward. Hope this simplified version makes it easy for you all.
Download:
Download Django from www.djangoproject.com(get the latest and fail not to check out which version of python it supports)
Download Python- and this should be the one supported by the version which you downloaded
Installation:
>Install python in your machine
>Extract the tar file of Django you have downloaded
>cd to the the folder you extracted and type the following:
python setup.py install
This will install all the required files in
C:\Python27\Lib\Site-Packages\Django
Now that Django is installed in your system, You can start creating projects.But before that lets put the django-admin.py in the path environment variable of the system.
So go to>MyComputer>Properties>Advanced System Settings>Environment
Then go to down slab for system path and
click Path double times. This will pop up edit window and do the following there:
>add a semi colon(;) and paste the following:
C:\Python_version\Python.exe;C:\Python_version\Scripts;C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\Django\bin;
>to extpath add .PY
and then hit ok button couple of times and close all the command window
Project Creation:
To create a project, create a folder say Djang in C:\ as
C:\Django-admin.py startproject project_name
********If it does not work here, checkout the following:*********
>Type regedit in run window
>Goto HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT>py_auto_file>command
and change the current value to
Now type ""C:\Python27\python.exe" "%1"%*" instead of the current value
and there you go...
After that cd to the foldr of your project and
type:
python manage.py runserver
Check out the result by typing localhost:8000 in your browser. You should be getting the same as given below
Happy Coding!
