How To Install the Django Web Framework 2 on Ubuntu 16.04

To install Django, a popular open-source web framework, on Ubuntu 16.04, follow these steps:

1. Install the python3-pip package, which provides the pip3 command for installing Python packages, by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

2. Use pip3 to install Django by running the following command:

pip3 install django

This will install Django and any dependencies required.

3. To verify that the installation was successful, run the following command:

python3 -m django --version

This will display the version of Django that was installed.

4. To create a new Django project, run the following command:

django-admin startproject myproject

Replace myproject with the desired name for your project. This will create a new directory with the same name, containing the skeleton of a Django project.

5. Change into the project directory:

cd myproject

6. Run the following command to start the Django development server:

python3 manage.py runserver

This will start the server and print the URL at which the project is available. By default, the server will listen on port 8000.

7. Open a web browser and navigate to the URL displayed by the server to view your Django project.

That's it! Django is now installed and set up on your Ubuntu 16.04 system. You can use it to develop web applications and serve them using the Django development server.
