    Create a directory for the project

    Create a project with commond

    django-admin startproject HelloWorld


    cd HelloWorld
    ls
    HelloWorld manage.py

    Note that we have manage.py file and HelloWorld folder inside


    HelloWorld project.

    1. __init__.py: An empty file that tells Python that this directory should
    be considered a Python package.
    2. settings.py: Settings/configuration for this Django project. Django
    settings will tell us all about how settings work. In other words, this
    file will hold all apps, database settings information.
    3. urls.py: The url declarations for this Django project; a "table of
    contents" of our Django-powered site. This is a file to hold the urls of
    our website such as "http://localhost/HelloWorldApp". In order to use
    /HelloWorldApp in our HelloWorld project we have to mention this in
    urls.py.
    4. wsgi.py: An entry-point for WSGI-compatible web servers to serve
    our project. This file handles our requests/responses to/from django
    development server.

    $ python3 manage.py runserver


    Validating models...

    0 errors found
    Django version 1.6.5, using settings 'HelloWorld.settings'
    Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
    Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

    Creating Hello World App


    To create an app (inside HelloWorld project directory), we need to run the
    following command:

    $ django-admin startapp HelloWorldApp


    $ ls
    HelloWorld HelloWorldApp manage.py
    As we can see from the layout in picture above, the django-admin
    startapp app created files:

    1. __init__.py - this file indicates our app as python package.


    2. models.py - file to hold our database informations.
    3. views.py - our functions to hold requests and logics.
    4. tests.py - for testing.

    Edit settings.py
    We need to edit settings.py under HelloWorld project directory to add our
    application HelloWorldApp as shown below:

    # Application definition

    INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'HelloWorldApp',
    )

    Edit urls.py
    How does Django know what view to send a particular request?
    Django uses a mapping file called urls.py which maps html addresses to
    views, using regular expressions. In other words, Django has a way to map
    a requested url to a view which is needed for a response via regular
    expressions.

    Let's modify the urls.py which is under the project directory, HelloWorld:

    Edit urls.py

    from django.contrib import admin


    from django.urls import path, include
    urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', include('myprojectApp.url')),
    ]

    create new url.py file under HelloWorldApp and add the following code
    from .views import Home
    from django.contrib import admin
    from django.urls import path, include

    urlpatterns = [
    path('Home', Home),
    ]

    Finally add in views.py


    from django.shortcuts import render
    from django.http import HttpResponse
    # Create your views here.
    def Home(request):
    return HttpResponse("Hello world")

    Run server python3 manage.py runserver


    create project

    django-admin startproject HelloWorld

    create new application

    django-admin startapp HelloWorldApp
