In the terminal, type "python --version" and press Enter. If Python is installed, you should see the version number displayed in the terminal.
Step 3 : Install Pipenv Package
Next, we will install the Pipenv package, which is a tool for managing virtual environments in Python. In the terminal, type "pip install pipenv" and press Enter. This will install the Pipenv package on your computer.
Step 4 : Activate Virtual Environment
Now, we will create a virtual environment for our Django project. In the terminal, type "pipenv shell" and press Enter. This will activate the virtual environment.
Step 5 : Check Virtual Environment
To make sure that the virtual environment is active, type "pipenv --venv" in the terminal and press Enter. This will display the path to the virtual environment.
Step 6 : Install Django Package

Step 7 : Check Django-Admin Commands
To check if Django is installed and to see a list of available Django-admin commands, type "django-admin" in the terminal and press Enter.
Step 8 : Create a New Project in the Same Directory
To create a new Django project, type "django-admin startprojectjoes_project ." in the terminal and press Enter. This will create a new Django project called "joes_project" in the current directory.
Step 9 : Run the Project
To run the project, navigate to the "joes_project" directory by typing "cd joes_project" in the terminal and pressing Enter. Then, type "python manage.py runserver" and press Enter. This will start the Django development server.
Step 10 : Additional - Change Project Port
If you want to run the project on a different port than the default port (8000), you can specify the port number in the command. For example, to run the project on port 8001, type "python manage.py runserver 8001" in the terminal and press Enter
