I am a student and my profesor needs me to install Django on PyCharm.
I made a big folder called PyCharmProjects and it includes like everything I have done in Python.
The problem is that I made a new folder inside this PyCharmProjects called Elementar, and I need to have the Django folders in there but it's not downloading.
I type in the PyCharm terminal django-admin manage.py startproject taskmanager1 (this is how my profesor needs me to name it)
After I run the code it says:
No Django settings specified.
Unknown command: 'manage.py'
Type 'django-admin help' for usage.
I also tried to install it through the MacOS terminal but I don't even have acces the folder named Elementar (cd: no such file or directory: Elementar) although it is created and it is seen in the PyCharm.
Manage.py its python file after you start your project, you cant call this file until this command:
django-admin startproject mysite
Then run:
python manage.py runserver
And if you want apps in your project run:
python manage.py startapp my_app
First of all, you can't create a project using manage.py because the manage.py file doesn't exist yet. It will be created automatically in the folder taskmanager1 if you run the command below.
You can create a project with the command
django-admin startproject taskmanager1
After that you can change the directory to the taskmanager1 folder with the cd taskmanager/ command.
When you changed the directory you can use the python manage.py commando for example if you want to run your migrations or creating an app.
python manage.py migrate
I'm new to python and django and wanted to create a django project on my D drive. However, in order to create the django project I have to do it through the terminal and it seems to automatically create the django project in my C drive. How can I change that location?
go to your D drive . Create A Folder . Name it as you want .
Then open this folder in Pycharm. and follow this commands
1. pip install virtualenv (for windows user)
2. virtualenv myenv (myenv is your virtual environment name. You can give anything as you want)
3. .\myenv\scripts\activate (activate virtualenv)
4. pip install django==2.2.10
5. django-admin startproject dj (dj is the project name. You can give anything)
6. cd dj
7. python manage.py runserver
*You can follow the following steps
1.Open your command prompt
.Run the following commands step by step by pressing enter:
a. D: (This will take you to your D drive)
b. mkdir Django-Project (This
will make a folder in D drive)

inside Django-Project)
I am having an issue via an apache Nearly Free Speech server (I have been following the NFS guide via this link: https://blog.nearlyfreespeech.net/2014/11/17/how-to-django-on-nearlyfreespeech-net/. I have created a run-django.sh file to properly run the application which also opens a virtualenv (I have named the folder 'venv'). These are the contents of my run-django.sh file:
#!/bin/sh
. venv/bin/activate
exec python3 manage.py runserver
On the current step of the guide I am attempting to run the run-django.sh as follows:
[questionanswer /home/protected]$ ls
question_answer run-django.sh venv
[questionanswer /home/protected]$ cd question_answer/
[questionanswer /home/protected/question_answer]$ ../run-django.sh
.: cannot open bin/activate: No such file or directory
How is this not detecting my directory of 'venv/bin/activate' ?
This question already has answers here:
How to run cloned Django project?
(7 answers)
Closed last year.
create virtualenv
create project (chat)
follow instructions at
https://github.com/qubird/django-chatrooms, after which there is a src folder in the root of the virtualenv
navigate to virtualenv/src/chatrooms and run the command python setup.py install, this installs app folder with all files and folders at virtualEnv/src/chatrooms/chatrooms
How do I get this to install to my project, not to virtualEnv/src/chatrooms/chatrooms? I also checked
Can't install Django app from git
and
how can i download code from git hub using command line but am still stuck.
Just follow these:
cd in to the directory where you want your project to store you source code eg. home/.
Then run django-admin startproject chat
This will create a chat directory in your current directory
Now cd to the chat directory.
run virtualenv env
This will create a directory namely env. Now just activate the virtualenv by running source /env/bin/activate (if you are in the chat dir).
As you now have you virtualenv ready and activated, just installed all your apps by running pip install .. and you are ready to go.
And don't worry about the env folder and its content or where your installed app code goes (until you want to change something in the installed app, which is usually not the case).
All you have to see is if your installed app works or not.
The method below installs directly to the prjoect level directory with no nedd to manually move file , .ie, not installed to src/chatrooms/charooms
1 create virtualenv (optional)
2 create project
3 cd to project
4 run git init
5 run command git clone "{protocol:url}"
6 add app to settings & and urls to main UURLCONF file
I have a problem in setting up django.
My situation: I have Anaconda Python 2.7 in my Windows 8 computer. On the Anaconda command prompt window, I type: pip install django. This is successful.
Then I create a folder named "newproject". On the command prompt I went to the folder "newproject". Then django-admin.py startproject newproject. This is successful.
Then I run python manage.py runserver. It tells me
"...can't open file 'manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory"
I checked out udemy django installation guide and other guides on the net. I have even set up a virtual environment. But the main problem is always: can't open file 'manage.py'
You're not in the proper directory...In the case you described, you should have:
mkdir newproject (not sure why you're doing this...but we'll continue with it)
cd newproject
django-admin.py startproject newproject
cd newproject ← A key missing part from what you did. You need to change into the directory where manage.py resides. Verify it by using ls at the command prompt after switching into the directory.
python manage.py runserver
Use ls often, if you need, to double check where you are in the directory tree.
You are not in the correct directory. You need to do cd newproject and the execute your runserver command.
For me it was because the manage.py didn't get created and the problem was that:
In windows instead of typing "django-admin.py" just type "django-admin" and it will create the manage.py file
you need to change your directory to the directory of the project.
open your environment by typing activate environment_name
change the directory to the folder in which you want to create the
project by cd Folder_Name
then create your project by django-admin startproject
Project_Name
then change the directory to your project folder
if you also want to create an app then typepython manage.py
startapp App_name
to confirm if it works type python manage.py runserver, then
you should get a link in the terminal. copy and paste that link in
the browser and you should see a successful page.
The reason of this problem is because you're in the first project directory "parent directory", and you have to go to your project "newproject" that has the manage.py file.
The way to this is simple:
cd "name of your project", E.g. cd newproject
python manage.py runserver
You need to include a . after you create the project.
Eg: django-admin.py startproject newproject .
This will allow you to run python manage.py runserver from where you are.
That can happen because manage.py doesn't have permissions.
Check the existence of manage.py throughout newproject, If exist you can fix it with:
$cd newproject
$chmod +x manage.py
Finally, try to execute python manage.py runserver
I was having the same problem, when Windows 10 changed credentials, Docker lost the access to drives. The fix for this issue, I reset the credentials in docker-desktop > shared Drives > reset credentials at bottom.
can't open file 'manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory"
here is the solution
step 1: command -> django-admin startproject project_name
step 2: command -> cd project_name
step 3: command -> python manage.py startapp app_name
try it may fix your problem
You should navigate to the inner directory where your manage.py resides. For example:
If you have created projectname as
Django-admin startproject loginapp
Step 1: Go to loginapp
Step 2: Click on it
Step 3: You will find another loginapp and manage.py folder inside that
Step 4: Use this rootpath commandprompt
Step 5: Enter py manage.py runserver
Now it will work
I ran into the same error seller. But this is what I discovered
1: open your terminal in your project environment
2: install Django using: pip install django (if you are on windows)
3: then create your Django project using : django-admin startproject newproject . (django-admin start-project followed by project name give a space and add period (.) )
So it goes like this
django-admin startproject new project .
The period/fullstop (.) At the end tells djando the area in which the file should be created which is inside the project file its self you are working on. After this is done you are free to go. You can now run your server and enjoy
Run server using: python manage.py runserver
Make sure to put a period at the end of your command e.g
Django-admin startproject new project .
The period at the end (.) will solve the problem
