For creating your very first django project, you have to follow some steps. Here I’m discussing all the steps in detail: 

• Check Python: - First, open your Terminal / Command Prompt and Write the following command: 

  python -–version

           If you see Python 3.11.1 or Python 3.0 and upper. Then, your machine is ready for installing Django but if you see  "python: command not found"  message then go to  DOWNLOAD PYTHON and install Python latest version.

• Virtual Machine: - For do not affect any other project or separate this project from other projects, you need a Python virtual machine. To create a Python virtual machine just write on your selected folder terminal :

  py –m venv virtualMachineName

            It creates a venv folder in your existing path folder.

• Activate Virtual Machine:- To activate the virtual machine write on the terminal: 

  Powershell: ./venv/Scripts/activate
  OR
  Bash:  source venv/Scripts/activate

               And it activate your virtual environment.

• Install Django: - After activating your virtual environment, install Django on this virtual environment just write terminal :

  pip install Django

            This will download and install the latest version of Django.

• Install Django Project: - Once Django is installed, you can create a new project using the following command:

  django-admin startproject projectname  

          Replace “projectname” with the desired name of your project and it will create a new director with the project structure.

• Move To Project Directory: - To move into the project directory write on your terminal:

  cd projectname

   

• Migration: -Django uses migrations to manage database schema changes. Run the following commands to apply initial migrations:

  python manage.py migrate

   

• Create a Superuser: To access the Django admin interface, create a superuser by running:

  python manage.py createsuperuser

              Follow the prompts to set up your superuser account.

• Start the Development Server:- To test your Django project locally, run the development server:

  python manage.py runserver

      Visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/ in your web browser to see the default Django welcome page.

• Create a Django App:- Django projects are made up of apps. Create a new app within your project:

  python manage.py startapp appname

       Replace "appname" with the desired name of your app.

• Configure Settings: In the project's settings.py file, add your newly created app to the INSTALLED_APPS section.

• Media and Static Settings:- For static and media file. Add the following code in the bottom of the settings file.

  #Setting.py
  
  # ===Static file Settings===
  
  STATIC_URL = 'static/'
  STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
  STATICFILES_DIRS = [
      os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'projectname/static')
  ]
  
  MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
  MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '/media')
  
  

  In urls.py

  from django.contrib import admin
  from django.urls import path
  from django.conf import settings
  from django.conf.urls.static import static
  
  
  urlpatterns = [
      path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
  ] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
  
  if settings.DEBUG:
      urlpatterns = urlpatterns + \
          static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
      urlpatterns = urlpatterns + \
          static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
  

   

• Create Models: - Define your data models in the models.py file of your app.

      Example:     

#app: models.py
from django.db import models


# Create your models here.

class ClassName(models.Model):
    # write according to your requirements

• Make Migrations: - Run the following command to create migrations for your models:

  python manage.py makemigrations

   

• Apply Migrations: - Apply the migrations to update your database schema:

  python manage.py migrate

   

• Create Views and Templates: - Define views in the views.py file of your app and create corresponding templates.

      Example:     

from django.shortcuts import render

# Write your View.
def viewsname(request):
    # Write code according to your requirements

    return render(request,'templatename.html')

• Configure URLs: - Define URL patterns in the urls.py file of your app, and include them in the project's urls.py. 

      Example:     

# urls.py

from django.urls import path,include

#In urlpatterns 
      path("pathName",include("appName.viewsName"),name="urlName"),

• Run the Development Server Again: Start the development server and navigate to your app's URLs to see the changes:

  python manage.py runserver
