Getting Django for Python 3 Started for Mac django-admin not working


I have been trying to set up Django for Python 3 for for 2 days now. I have installed python 3.5.2 on my Mac Mini. I have also have pip3 installed succesfully. I have installed Django using pip3 install Django. The problem is that when I try to start my project by typing django-admin startproject mysite, I get the error -bash: django-admin: command not found. If you need any more info, just let me know, I am also new to Mac so I may be missing something simple. How do I get django-admin working? I have tried pretty much everything I could find on the web.


Solution

  • Activate virtualenv and install Django there

    python -m pip install django
    

    Try

    python -m django startproject mysite
    

    You can use python -m django instead of django-admin since Django 1.9.
