Example 1: django basic steps
1º - Create a virtual environment by giving this command:
>> python3 -m venv "name_of_env"

4º - To initiate a project in Django:
>> django-admin startproject "projectName"
>> cd projectName
5º - To run the server, you need to go to the directory containing
manage.py and from there enter the command:
>> python3 manage.py runserver
6º - To create a basic app in your Django project you need to go
to the directory containing manage.py and from there enter
the command:
>> python3 manage.py startapp "projectAppName"
7º - You need to include the app in our main project so that
urls redirected to that app can be rendered. Move to
"projectName" -> "projectName" -> urls.py and change the
following:
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('', include("projectApp.urls")),
]
