- Inside the virtual env, installed django and checked all dependencies were install correctly:
(django-training) ➜ pip install django (django-training) ➜ pip freeze - Inside the virtual env, created the django project "wisdompets":
(django-training) ➜ django-admin startproject wisdompets - Inside the virtual env, run project:
(django-training) ➜ cd wisdompets (django-training) ➜ python3 manage.py runserver - Visited URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/ to make sure the server was up.
- Inside the virtual env, created a django app called adoptions:
(django-training) ➜ python3 manage.py startapp adoptions - Created the first 2 models: Pet and Vaccine
