Re: django-admin.py not found

Where do I type the following commands? Is it in the python shell?

 

tar xzvf Django-1.3.tar.gz
cd Django-1.3
sudo python setup.py install

 

What does tar xzvf mean?

Where do you have Python installed?

I just followed these steps to install Django, worked like a charm (no special setup or anything.)  I did this just for the fun of it without any production settings (just to try stuff out), did you do something different?

This is steps I used to download.

 

1. Download from the Django website.

2. Unzipped it to C:/Django-1.3 folder

I dont see any file under site packages. I think my Django is not installed within Python.

 

Something is wrong..

Do me a favor and check that you have <your python install>\Lib\site-packages\django\bin\django-admin.py

If you do, try that.  I don't think I have a C:\django-1.3\... directory, could be an issue with how you installed it (I didn't experiment, there was no need).

My django-admin.py file is located in

 

C:\django-1.3\django\bin\django-admin.py

 

I tried executing this command but get the following error in my python shell,

 

>>> python C:\django-1.3\django\bin\django-admin.py startproject mysite
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

What OS are you running?  Is it in your path?

I'm having a similar issue and managed to get around it (although the solution is not as elegant as I'd like) using this:

python C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\django\bin\django-admin.py startproject mysite2
