django-admin command not working in Mac OS

Question

I started Django in Mac OS and after installing Django using pip, I tried to initiated a new project using the command django-admin startproject mysite. I get the error -bash: django-admin: command not found. I make quick search in Google and haven't get any solution that works.

How to start a new project using Django using django-admin ?

Answer 1

I solved the issue after reading a webpage about the mentioned issue.

1. In the Python shell, write the following,

   >> import django >> django.__file__ >> django also works

It will provide the installation location of django.

2. Change the path to the new path /usr/local/bin/django-admin.py,

   sudo ln -s the complete path of django-admin.py /usr/local/bin/django-admin.py

In Mac OS, The call needs to be django-admin.py startproject mysite than django-admin startproject mysite
