Setting up the environment:
If you don’t have python installed, get it installed from www.python.org
Install MongoDB from https://www.mongodb.com/download-center?jmp=nav
Make sure you have python in your path. You can check it by opening command prompt / terminal and typing
python –V
Getting started with django
If you want to run your django project in a virtual environment, you need to install python’s virtual environment.
To do so, open command prompt or terminal and type
[ If you don't want a virtual environment, skip to installing django ]
pip install virtualenvwrapper-win
If you are not already in your django root directory, go to the project directory or create the project directory.
mkdir django
cd django
Create your virtual environment
mkvirtualenv chillzeeProject
Install django
pip install django
Check the django installation
django-admin –version
