That looks really weird. Try running this command in a new folder exactly as shown. django-admin startproject polls_project .
Remember to include a space and period after polls_ project. It should create a directory structure like this in your new folder. . ├── manage.py ├── polls_project │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── settings.py │ ├── urls.py │ └── wsgi.py Most developers use a virtual environment when creating new projects. A virtual env separates the dependencies between different projects. It is not necessary for you to do that on your first project so don't worry about it. You can always watch youtube tutorials on creating virtual envs later on.
