This tutorial will not only help you answer the how to install django on windows 10 question but also help you install django if you have Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1.

You can follow the same steps for all the windows versions mentioned above.

Step 1:

Download python.

A] Go to www.python.org

Step 2:

Once the file is downloaded start the setup.

Make sure to check the "Add Python 3.6 to PATH" or "Add Python 2.7 to PATH" depending on your OS.

Click on the "Customize Installation" part and check whether all the options are ticked.

Do not uncheck or deselect any of the options that have been ticked.

Click on "Back".

Step 3:

Go to start and search for "Windows Powershell".

Right-click on it and select the "Run as administrator" option.

Step 4:

Here's how we will install Django using pip. You can refer the GIF or follow the commands.

The GIF will show you how to install django on windows step by step from here onwards.

Before beginning you have to open the Windows Powershell. Go to "Start" or the Metro menu and then search for Windows Powershell.

When you find it. Right-click on it and "Run it as administrator".

1] After opening the Windows powershell, we need to install virtualenvwrapper.

It is used for creating isolated environments.

You can create an isolated environment for each new Django project.
install pip windows

pip install virtualenvwrapper-win

2] Now, we'll create a virtual environment for a project

mkvirtualenv mywebsite

3] To activate the environment mywebsite we have to run the following command.

workon mywebsite

4] Next, we are going to install Django with the pip command

pip install django

5] You can check the django version by executing the following command.

python -m django --version

6] We'll set the current directory to C drive.

cd \

7] The next step is to create a new directory to store the new project that we are going to work on. In this case it will be webdesign.

mkdir newdir

Once you create the directory, set it as the current directory.

cd newdir

8] Now, we need to startproject with the django-admin startproject projectname where we will replace the projectname with a name of the project.

As I have mentioned already it this case it will be webdesign.

django-admin startproject webdesign

9] Set the current directory to the project directory i.e webdesign.

cd webdesign

10] After that is done simply run the

python manage.py runserver

Now that we have completed the installation you might have this question,
how to check if django is installed on windows?

Execute the following command and it will return the version of your django install.
