Thanks for getting back to me.
​So, i just figured *manage.py* would also require the *settings.py*
which is missing now.
What do i do about that?
That depends. Is the system currently working?
If so there will be a bunch of settings somewhere and the system will
work on your local machine.
If not, it might be a big ask to do anything quickly. You'll need to do
some research.
In my own projects there are no settings.py files at all. I use a
settings directory and in there I have base.py, local.py, mike_test.py
staging.py and production.py. Each of these imports common settings from
base.py. Here is my local_test.py
from .base import *
SITE_ID = 3
DEBUG = True
TEMPLATE_DEBUG = DEBUG
TEST_RUNNER = 'django.test.runner.DiscoverRunner'
DATABASES = {
'default': {
"ENGINE": "django.db.backends.sqlite3",
"NAME": ":memory:",
"USER": "",
"PASSWORD": "",
"HOST": "",
"PORT": "",
}
}
You can probably find where the settings are being imported from - grep
for ENGINE and that will give you a clue.
Cheers

Good morning,
I was recently given  a django project to manage at work.
However, i noticed the project has neither a django-admin.py
or a manage.py file.
Is that normal?
There is usually a manage.py file in the root of the project.
django-admin.py is put in the Python path when Django is installed.
If it is, how do i run the project on my local machine for
testing purposes?
* Establish a virtualenv setup (optional but recommended)(separate
topic)
* install the same version of Django locally (the file structure
you show indicates a possibly older Django)
* install the same version of the database server locally
* dump the database on the server and load it locally
* mkdir ~/envs
* cd envs
|* ||python django-admin.py startproject projname (or use python3)
At this point you have the bones of the project into which you
should be able to see where to copy the projname directories and
files. After doing so ...
* ~/envs/projname$ python manage.py runserver
This will probably generate errors indicating which 3rd party
packages need to be installed on the local machine. In theory when
they are all installed you should be able to launch the software.

Good luck

The file structure is something like this:
Project Name
app1
app2
app3
app4
app5
models.py
forms.py
__init__.py
urls.py
views.py
admin.py
Each app contains the following:
models.py
forms.py
__init__.py
urls.py
views.py
admin.py
