Issues with python commands in windows powershell
Hello, I've been having issues using basic python commands in windows powershell. I'm new to programming so just going off of online tutorials. Earlier I was unable to use pip to install Django (pip install Django), and came to this forum for help and someone was able to give me the correct command for windows 10 (py -m pip install django). I've been trying to run this command django-admin startproject mytests, but get the same error message as when trying to run the original pip django-admin : *The term 'django-admin' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included,* *verify that the path is correct and try again.* *At line:1 char:1* + django-admin startproject mytestsite + + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (django-admin:String) [], CommandNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException I'm very new so honestly have no idea what the issue may be, but from previously trying to use python I think it may have something to do with configuring windows environment variables? Not sure, but just something I've ran into in the past previous times trying to learn python for more data analysis purposes. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If this does not work, ask > on django lists. I doubt that will work; "django-admin" is not a valid module name. Joey, there should be a folders called "bin" and "scripts" (or something like that) in your Python installation. One of them, I expect, will contain a django-admin.exe. (Or .bat? Or .cmd? Whatever.) Adding these folders to your PATH environment variable (don't ask me how) will solve these problems. IIRC you can do this for PowerShell specifically or for Windows in general, whichever you think is best. > >> django-admin : *The term 'django-admin' is not recognized as the name >> of a >> cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
