• Run the following command to create a virtual environment :



    virtualenv venv

📌 venv is name of virtual environment. we can give any name which we want.

  • On Windows:
  
  

      venv\Scripts\activate
  

  • On macOS/Linux:
  
  

      source venv/bin/activate
  

III. Install Project Dependencies:

• Make sure you have a requirements.txt file in your project directory. If not, create one and list all the required packages (dependencies) for your Django project.
• Run the following command to install the dependencies:



    pip install -r requirements.txt

IV. Create a Superuser:

• In your project root directory (where manage.py is located), run the following command:



    python manage.py createsuperuser

• Follow the prompts to set a username, email, and password for the superuser. This user will have administrative privileges in your Django application.

V. Run the Development Server:

• Start your Django development server by running:



    python manage.py runserver

• Open your web browser and visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/ to see your Django app in action.

📌 If you are adding some model in models.py or changing something don't forget to make migrations :

    python manage.py makemigrations

and migrate it to database :

    python manage.py migrate

This ensures that your database schema is up to date with your model changes.
