First tutorial - Not off to a good start :(

[Leke]

I've just installed python-django from my ubuntu repositories and
tried my luck at the tutorial here:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/

I tried running django-admin.py startproject mysite but discovered it
not to be on my system path.
The tutorial says "If it’s not on your path, you can find it in site-
packages/django/bin, where `site-packages` is a directory within your
Python installation." but this location doesn't seem to exist.

I did find it here /usr/lib/python-django/bin/django-admin.py and
tried to run the specified command like so...
sudo ./usr/lib/python-django/bin/django-admin.py startproject mysite

which returns...
sudo: ./usr/lib/python-django/bin/django-admin.py: command not found

I'm not a seasoned linux user, but i can't see what I'm doing wrong
here. Could somebody point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Ah yes, I see what you mean about the dot (.)
I still seem to have no luck running the script though...

l...@leke ~/Projects/cms/django $ /usr/lib/python-django/bin/django-
admin.py startproject mysite
bash: /usr/lib/python-django/bin/django-admin.py: Permission denied
l...@leke ~/Projects/cms/django $ sudo /usr/lib/python-django/bin/
django-admin.py startproject mysite
[sudo] password for leke:
sudo: /usr/lib/python-django/bin/django-admin.py: command not found

I forgot to add, if I type import django in the python interpreter, I
don't get any errors so I guess the install went ok.

You were right. I forgot all about needing to call python. Thanks to
you both for your help.
