4. We need some libraries for further process like:pip,virtualenv
   
   
5. Now download get-pip.py file.
   
   
6. Where you download above file then open command prompt with this directory.
   
   
7. Enter Command in CMD: “python get-pip.py”. It will install pip command for use in CMD. I have already installed therefore it is show as Requirement already up-to-date. Check it it is successfully installed or not using CMD to enter “pip” command.
   
   
   
   
   
8. Now Install virtualenv library using pip. Enter Command in CMD:”pip install virtualenv”.
   
   
9. After installation, open command prompt in base C: drive directory and Enter Command in CMD: “virtualenv env”.
   
   
10. It will create folder in C: base directory and copy required files in this directory.
    
    
    
    
11. Now again run command in CMD of base directory : “/env/Scripts/activate”.
    
    
    
    
12. You are in working in virtual environment of python and also see (env) before command directory. If you want to go out from virtual environment then run command “deactivate”.
    
    
13. Now you can install Django in your System. Write Command in CMD with virtual environment “pip install django”.I have already installed.
    
    
    
    
14. Now go to directory where you want create project of django in command prompt. I’m creating project in C:\Users\NeErAj\project directory.
    
    
15. Write command in CMD: “django-admin startproject demo”.It create project demo folder with some python files.

19. It creates main folder in root demo folder that contains multiple files which are most useful files for further use in django project.
    
    
20. In command “django-admin startapp main”. Here “main” is an app name then you must write this app name in settings.py files in INSTALLED_APP block. Without it you can’t use main directory as Project.
    
    
21. Now Run command in root demo directory. “python manage.py runserver”
