How to get started

{we will be using terminal for most of the operations.}

1. Create a folder Blog using $: mkdir Blog

In said folder create a virtual venv with python3

2. Create a Virtualenv by typing in

$: virtualenv -p python3 {env-name}

3. Install pip.

$:sudo apt-get install python-pip

4. Activate the virtual-env by

$: . ./{env-name}/bin/activate

5. Install Django

$:pip install django

$:pip install dj-database-url

6. Create a requirements file

$: pip freeze > requirements.txt

7.Let's start building Django:

$: django-admin startproject mysite

8.Changes to settings.py file in mysite/mysite/settings.py

TIME_ZONE = 'Asia/Kolkata'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['127.0.0.1', '.pythonanywhere.com']

9. Creating a Database

$: python manage.py migrate

10.How to create a seperate application

Here we going to call the app as blog

These are the very basics of setting up a Django module. Hope you enjoy the workshop on how to create a small webpage using Django.
