Answer 1

steps: - go to where you want create django app on that folder.

then run this command on command prompt : python -m virtualenv .

(eg. C:UsersgshivDesktopdjango>python -m virtualenv .)

where django is the my folder i want run virtualenv and .(dot) indicates virtualenv install all it's folder in django folder otherwise you can use other folder name instead .(dot) this time virtulenv creates a folder in main folder(django) .

• after running this command: run .scriptsactivate now you can see this type of line on cmd-prompt (django) C:UsersgshivDesktopdjango>
• i.e main folder name before the source path. now you can install any modules for your project that belongs to that main folder only.

pip install django works fine.
