I am using PyCharm as my IDE for developing this application. You can use PyCharm or anyother suitable IDE of your choice.
Steps
- Open PyCharm and select File -> New Project
- Provide a suitable name. In my case its MyDjangoProject

3. Now Install Django library. For this open the command terminal in PyCharm or on a command prompt and run “pip install DJango==3.1” Once it is done, you should see the below message.

4. Once it is installed, create a new Django project by running the command “django-admin startproject MyDjangoApp .”

Once completed, the IDE will refresh with a directory with name MyDjangoApp with files shown below

5. Now you can run this application with command. This command will run your application and delpoy listening on the port 8000
