python3 -m django startproject mango

Answer 2

As Timmy said above, it could just be that django-admin.py is not on your system path. See here - https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/InstallationPitfalls - for 3 possible causes with solutions.

Answer 3

There was a space in one of the names in the path to my project. I set up a new virtual environment in a new directory and did all the same things and it works.

Sometimes it is the simple things...

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

If you come across command not found: django-admin.py problem which means you don't installed django frame work. You should install the framework using pip.

pip install django

After that look at the directory if the related script exist or not.
Look into C:\Python27\Scriptsfolder to check for django-admin.py exist or not.
