Why doesn't python manage.py runserver work?

Question

Django

I write python manage.py runserver but nothing happens

Answer 1

Check if you are in the directory with your project. Check which python interpreter you are using. Whether you use a virtual environment or not, whether you have django installed or not.
But most likely, since you are on Windows, you do not have a symlink configured. In this case, follow the advice from the official docs:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/django-a...

For Windows users, who do not have symlinking functionality available, you can copy django-admin.exe to a location on your existing path or edit the PATH settings (under Settings - Control Panel - System - Advanced - Environment...) to point to its installed location.

You should have it here %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Python\Python36\Scripts
But it's better to develop under Linux (at least on a virtual machine, vagrant)
