you should use pip <http://www.pip-installer.org/>to install python packages, after you have pip you can use "pip install django"
eventually it is worth to take a look at virtualenv so you can have separate environments and packages for each project in any case you should use "python django-admin.py startproject mysite" assuming python is on path and also django-admin.py if not you may use the full path for both: c:\python27\python.exe c:\python27\scripts\django-admin.py On Sat, Sep 21, 2013 at 11:27 PM, Poom Buncha <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all > > First off, I like to say that I am a beginner to everything related to > computing.
