Windows 10 Run django project on virtual Ubuntu server

I have Windows 10 on my laptop. I faced with some problems using Windows for develop django app. For example, celery library couldn't run tasks on Windows 10. So I want to install ubuntu and use it with my pycharm for django projects. I download ubuntu in Windows Store. But how can I set it for work with my django projects and his virtual environment?

Solution

  • Without passing by the windows store, here's are the step to run Django project on a windows 10 Operating system using a Virtual Machine:

    Install Virtual Box, Download the Ubuntu ISO, create a virtual machine with Virtual Box and pick your Ubuntu ISO, Install Ubuntu, then inside your Ubuntu Virtual machine do these commands:

    sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip virtualenv

    Create a virtual env for Django

    virtualenv myenv

    Activate it

    source myenv/bin/activate

    Install Django

    pip install django

    Then put your Django project to your Ubuntu virtual machine and run it

    python manage.py runserver

    You can also download and use Pycharm directly on the VM
