OS - Linux Debian. I started reading a book on Django, and there it is necessary to register django-admin.py startproject mysite in the console. I prescribe, deduces that django-admin.py not found. Apparently, you must specify the full path to this file, or you must prescribe the path to the PATH environment variable. But I can’t do either one or the other, because I don’t know the full path to this file, but I don’t know how to add an environment variable. Tell me what to do to make it work?

  • Probably worth the ancient jung - how much I work, and the path to django-admin.py never prescribed ... - metazet

Ubuntu server 11.10, Python 2.7.2 with correct documented package installation

 $python setup.py install

Installed in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/
But with the correct installation of Django as a normal package, all system paths are written automatically.

    deployed a test Django project on Debian for this article with some of its modifications. there and the answer to your question

       locate django-admin.py

        Here is an example path under Windows:

         C:\Python27\Scripts

        Right-click on My Computer, there are Properties, the Advanced tab, the Environment Variables button. In the window in the System Variables area, select the Path and click Modify, put it at the end of the list ; and append the above path
