Django Project Setup

This guide will walk you through setting up a Django project using a virtual environment.

Prerequisites

• Python installed on your system (Download Python)
• Basic understanding of the command line

Setup Instructions

1. Install virtualenv:

   pip install virtualenv

2. Create a virtual environment:

   virtualenv <env_name>

   Replace <env_name> with the name you want to give your virtual environment.

3. Activate the virtual environment:

   On Windows:

   <env_name>\Scripts\activate

   On macOS/Linux:

   source <env_name>/bin/activate

4. Install Django:

   pip install Django

5. Create a new Django project:

   django-admin startproject <project_name>

   Replace <project_name> with the name you want to give your Django project.

6. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd <project_name>

7. Run the Django development server:
