source .venv/bin/activate

# for windows
# .venv\Scripts\activate

second way and i use this -

# you this cmd in both os system (macOs and window)
pip install uv 
# to create a virtual environment
uv venv

# activation commands are same as above

# On macOS and Linux.
source .venv/bin/activate

# On Windows.
.venv\Scripts\activate
  • then activate virtual environment

  • download Django with this cmd uv pip install Django

package list or installed multiple package

#  package list 
pip list 
or
uv pip list 

# create package list 
pip list > fileName.txt
or 

uv pip list > fileName.txt
# good practice is 
pip list > requirements.txt
or 
uv pip list > requirements.txt

# install multiple package 
uv pip install -r fileName.txt
or
pip install -r fileName.txt

create Django project

django-admin startproject <project-name>

.venv folder or virtual environment folder and your project folder should be in same line Django create sub folder with same name folder inside the folder project folder with manage.py

run the python server

come to file project folder


python manage.py runserver 

# if you get this error (Error: You don't have permission to access that port.) try to change the port
python manage.py runserver <change-port>
