[Answer]-Not able to install Django on windows 7

1👍

Yups! Finally got it! So here’s what I did:

  1. Removed python completely and installed it again.
  2. adjust my PATH environment variable to include paths to the Python executable & additional scripts.
  3. Installed Setuptools
  4. Installed pip using easy_install pip.
  5. Installed Django using pip install django.

Note: If your Python is installed in C:\Python27\, the following paths need to be added to PATH: C:\Python27\;C:\Python27\Scripts;

Thanks a lot for your valuable inputs and bearing with me! 🙂

I would make sure that DJango is installed by running

python -c “import django; print(django.get_version())”

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/intro/tutorial01/

I found the Django tutorial on their site to be very good

Also what exactly are you typing into the command prompt ? You should simply be in directory C:\Users\DIPANSHU> in the command shell

EDIT: you should be in the directory where you installed Django
