Django Project

Initial set-up for Django

To run a Django application on Educative, we do not need to set anything up. All the code will run inside the special environment within the browser. It’s as easy as that!

Educative is designed in such a way that we do not get distracted by dependencies and instead get right into what is essential: the learning.

A Django project is a collection of applications and configurations that, when combined together, will make up the full web application, which is a complete website running with Django. We will discuss what a Django application is in the next lesson.

The following command will create a Django project in the first_project directory:

django-admin startproject first_project

Before running the Django project, let’s look at the files this command created.
