Virtual Environment Setup in Django

Before setting up for the Django Environment Setup We need to understand the steps to set the Virtual environment and before setting up the virtual environment we need to know about What is the virtual environment or a V-env?

A Virtual Environment is that environment where we can set up the project requirement or the dependencies and later this is installed in the Virtual Environment.

We are moving ahead to describe the steps to install the Virtual Environment.

How to Install the V-env or a Virtual Environment?

To Install a V-env or a Virtual Environment we use the following command.

Command:

pip install virtualenv

After running the following command the installation will be started into our machine where it will collect the different packages and install them into our system.

Output:

To create a V-env or a Virtual Environment we use the following command.

Command:

virtualenv pythontpoint_venv

After running the following command the virtual environment will be created with the name of pythontpoint_venv.

Output:

How to Activate the Virtual Environment?

To Activate a V-env or a Virtual Environment we use the following command.

Command:

source pythontpoint_venv/bin/activate

To understand this command we can also go through the following syntax.

Syntax :

source <env name>/bin/activate

After creating the virtual environment we will next activate the virtual environment to activate this we will run the above command through which our Django V-env is activated.

Output:

Now after activating the virtual environment, we can perform the task our this also but if we are not required with this virtual environment we can also deactivate this and remove the virtual environment by using the following step.

How to Deactivate Virtual Environment?

To Deactivate Virtual Environment we can use the following command.

sudo rm -rf <venv dir name>

Once we deactivate the Virtual environment we can also remove that virtual environment by using the above command.

Output:

Django Environment Configuration or Setup

In the early Topic, we have covered the basic steps to set up the virtual environment. Now we are going to learn about the Steps to install the Django Environment into our system.

To install this we have used the Ubuntu Operating system to run the commands and to perform this task.

Earlier we are aware of Django, Its features, and its history. Today we will be learning about setting up the environment for Django into the Ubuntu Operating system.

Revise: Django Tutorial

It does not matter what operating system we are using we can run this at any operating system like Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.

Through this tutorial, you will be able to set up the Django environment into your local system and it does not matter what OS you are using.

Requirements:

Before installing Django we need to have the basic fundamental knowledge of using the command-line interface or the knowledge to use the terminal to install the software dependencies into our local system or a computer or machine.

Django Environment Overview:

Django helps us to build up the light setup on the local system or a computer so that we can start up or task in developing the web application or to do the web development. Now we are going to explain the steps to install Django into the different operating systems or the OS environment.

Installing Django on Linux /MAC OS / Windows

To install Django we use the following command.

Command:

pip install django

After running the above command it will start collecting the packages from the Django server and start installing them into our local system. after running the above command the installation will begin.

Output:

Verify Django Installation

After running the setup to install into our system we also need to check that do the Django is installed into our system or not and to check this we use the following command.

Command:

python -m django –-version

After running the above command we can check the supported version of Django which is installed into our system, Version 4.0 is installed of Django.

Django Environment Requirements

Before installing Django into our system we need to check whether Python is installed into our system or not and if it is installed then we can follow the above-mentioned steps and move ahead to perform the web development task using Django.

If it is not installed into our system we can go through the following tutorial where we have defined the steps to install the python into the different environments.

Goto: Installation of Python

We also wish you and your family a very Happy Lohri and Makar Sakranti

So, in this tutorial, we discussed Django Environment Configuration or Setup and we have also covered different steps related to its implementation. Here is the list of topics that we have covered.
