Very good description for django beginner if someone working on windows and facing difficulties to properly install it.It also talks about needed tools.

Thanks for being a great teacher. There are a ton of tutorials on YT but most of them are really bad so thanks for slowing down and explaining things.

[abubaker]

this is by far the best tutorial, students generally do the same mistakes as listed in the command prompt and you explained it so well :) !  cheers and thanks for a happy learning

Hi, I am having some issues for setting up my Command Prompt. When I attempt to change it into the desktop direction by typing in "cd desktop." I seem to receive an error: ​The system cannot find the path specified.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for sharing your knowledge with everyone!

[Verbotewolf]

I'm having an issue. When I attempt to install pip within the prompt, it gives me an exception, and quite a few lines of nonsense starting, with "Exeption:
Traceback <most recent call last>:
Could someone give me a hand?

[Gallalad]

I installed the easy install but it does not seem to recognize the command in command prompt

[TheAlexanderEdwards]

If anyone is having issues with PIP not installing. Try going down to python 27. That did the trick for me

[jacobbrooks]

Hi, Even though I typed everything you said into the path, python still wont work in cp, Any help? :(

[fitndad]

Thanks a lot CodingEntrepreneurs. Very nice Tutorial. I had the exact same error and I managed to solve it. If you followed the part about environment variables that should work. I seem to have had a typo or there is a slight difference in OS with what the tutor is covering. I changed the Scripts part to C:\Python27\Scripts (note I had C:\Python27\Scripts\;) I removed the (\;) and it worked. Everything else is as is on tutorial. I hope this helps someone.

FOR USERS W/ BOTH PYTHON 27 and PYTHON 3.6 ---- I have both python27 and python 3.6 on my computer that is running Windows 8, I did not succeed with the manual > system\environmental_variable thing --- WHAT DID WORK was right clicking the get-pip icon on desktop and selecting the Python 3.6 version anyways to see what happens, it prompted to a window that had 3 options: modify, repair, uninstall. I chose modify and there was a box for create environmental variable that you could click - which I did and clicked through till end. Re-opened command prompt, typed in python and it worked!

[colleenmcdougal]

when I type in "cd desktop" on command prompt it says "the system cannot find the path specified."
I followed this guide step-by-step and this problem popped up. How do I fix this?

[justasingledronevideo]

Just watched all the videos in this playlist and it was amazing! Thanks for being so easy to understand AND for caring enough to update these so that I can do it with the newer versions of the softwares!!!

[alekszmaalmen]

Hi! Someone explain me, please! Must i install my python only in directory C? If i have installed my python on the disk E of my PC.

[celiostat]

if anyone run into an install error during the "python get-pip.py" command (WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied) . Prior to follow the process,  just set the command prompt with "run as an administrator"  / even if you think you already have admin rights...

[MySaswat]

After installing pip(python get-pip.py), prompt showing some messages as "..timeout=15 ... Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement pip<from versions>.., "   Thanks in advance
