As Brian says, more details on where you are running into trouble would help people help you. The tutorial is applicable to Windows, even if it shows paths with forward slashes, etc. The fact is running through the tutorial from a Windows command prompt is not very different from doing it with a Linux bash shell or whatever. Specifically starting up the development server is first mentioned here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/#the-development-server If you haven't been able to get that far, what step, specifically is causing trouble, and how, exactly?
