django runserver

To run a Django project, you can make use of the "django runserver" command. Here is a step-by-step explanation of each step involved:

1. Open your command prompt or terminal: This is where you will execute the Django runserver command.

2. Navigate to your Django project directory: Use the "cd" command to change the directory to the location where your Django project is stored.

3. Activate your virtual environment (optional): If you are using a virtual environment for your Django project, activate it using the appropriate command. This step ensures that you are working within the correct environment.

4. Run the "django runserver" command: Once you are in the correct directory and virtual environment (if applicable), type "python manage.py runserver" in your command prompt or terminal and press Enter. The "manage.py" file is located in the root directory of your Django project.

5. Verify the output: After executing the command, you should see some output in your command prompt or terminal. This output indicates that the Django development server has started successfully and is now running your project.

6. Access your Django project in a web browser: To view your Django project in a web browser, open your preferred browser and enter the URL "http://localhost:8000" or "http://127.0.0.1:8000". This will connect to the local development server running on your machine.

7. Interact with your Django project: Once the server is running, you can interact with your Django project by navigating through its web pages, submitting forms, and performing other actions as defined in your Django code.

That's it! You have successfully started the Django development server using the "django runserver" command and can now access your Django project in a web browser.
