1.Install Python3<\/strong> and PIP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check Python version by typing python3 -V<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check PIP version by typing pip3 -V<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.Install Django<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo apt install python3-django<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check the version of Django by typing django-admin --version<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.Create Sample Django Project<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To test the newly installed Django server , we will create a demo webapp and run it. Change the directory to where you want to create the project. eg cd \/var\/www<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type django-admin startproject testsite<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will create a new directory called testsite and install the default Django files in it. If you do a cd testsite<\/code> and list the contents, you will find another folder called testsite and files within it. Change the directory to the inner testsite and edit the settings.py<\/code> file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change the ALLOWED_HOSTS line to something like ALLOWED_HOSTS = [\"localhost\"]<\/code> and save the file<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The value entered in ALLOWED_HOSTS is the domain url that you will call in the browser to load the site. So if you want to use the server IP address put ALLOWED_HOSTS=[\"x.x.x.x\"]<\/code>. Instead of localhost you can put 127.0.0.1 as well. but then you cannot use http:\/\/localhost to load the site. – only http:\/\/127.0.0.1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.Migrate Site Database<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Django uses SQLite as its internal database to manage websites. Go to the root folder of your site eg. cd \/var\/www\/testsite and type python3 manage.py migrate<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.Create Admin User<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type python3 manage.py createsuperuser<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter your username, email address and password<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.Launch The Project<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The webapp is now running on port 8000. You can view it by opening http:\/\/localhost:8000 <\/code>in your browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To view the admin site load http:\/\/localhost:8000\/admin<\/code> . Login using the admin credentials you created above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

7.Stop the Server<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pressing Ctrl-C in the terminal window where django is running will kill the Django server and stop the project<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
