Command not found: django-admin.py

Question

I am a complete beginner to Python/Django, but I want to dive right in and start experimenting. Thus I was following this guide on installing Python/Django http://devcenter.

Answer 1

It has to do with the PATH:

Put this in the .bash_profiel and the source it (for mac users only): (change the location with the location of your installed python libraries)

PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH

Answer 2

If someone is facing the same problem, and is on MacOs, here is what I did, and it worked for me:

If you've installed python directly from the official website, uninstall it, and install it once again using brew:

$ /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

$ brew install python3

This will also install the pip3 for you, so you don't have to install it by yourself.

Answer 3

I was just having the same problem, I just did an upgrade and that's it, it worked, I hope this is useful for future problems in Linux:

pip install --upgrade django
