SET-UP DJANGO PROJECT
  • Assuming that you have already installed python in your computer.
  • First, you need to create an environment at your project location. where, you want to create your project in your computer globally or locally by setting your project path in the terminal.
  • To create Virtualenv type python -m venv env in your terminal or console
  • Now you need to activate your Virtualenv by typing env\scripts\activate
  • You must activate your Virtualenv to download any new dependencies "locally", otherwise those dependencies will install "globally"
INSTALLATION PROCESS OF Django
Here we are using "Python Manager" to download "Django"

If you know how to create Django project you can skip this step.

  • First open command prompt in my case Example:C:\Users\ADMIN01> and type pip install django and pip install django-htmlmin to install Django globally.
  • To check whether Django is installed or not type python -m django --version in your terminal or console
  • Now open a new command prompt and navigate to the folder where you want to create the Django project.
  • In my case Example:C:\Users\ADMIN01\Desktop\django>.
  • Now type the following command line django-admin startproject projectname and hit enter to create Django project. Here projectname is nothing but your django project folder name that you want to keep as your project name
  • Now you are sucessfully created Django project.
  • To create App or Application navigate to your django project folder Example:C:\Users\ADMIN01\Desktop\django\projectname> in your command prompt and type python manage.py startapp appname
  • Now you are sucessfully created App in your django project.
  • The project that you received will have a file called the requirements.txt file. Now go to that file location and then in your terminal type pip install -r requirements.txt
  • The above command will download all the required packages by using the requirements.txt file.
  • We have an improtant dependency or module called django-htmlmin it is used to minify the html content. You have already installed HTML_MINIFY with the help of requirements.txt file
  • By default we are disabling HTML_MINIFY module i.e., HTML_MINIFY= False if you want to enable HTML_MINIFY module please follow the root path velvet/settings.py in that file you will find HTML_MINIFY= False then change it into HTML_MINIFY= True
  • NOTE: If you have any further queries in installation please refer to the official website HERE

  • After installation run following command to get Django development server: python manage.py runserver
Purpose of a starter kit
Introduction to the Django Starter Kit:

The Django starterkit is a resource that helps developers kickstart their Django web development projects by providing a preconfigured and ready-to-use template. It aims to simplify the initial setup and provide a foundation for building Django Framework-based websites or applications.

Purpose of the Django Starter Kit:

The purpose of the Django starter kit is to save developers time and effort by offering a set of prebuilt files and configurations commonly used in Django projects. Instead of starting from scratch, developers can leverage the starter kit to quickly set up a project structure that adheres to best practices and industry standards.

Benefits of Using the Django Starter Kit:

The starter kit eliminates the need to set up the basic project structure manually. It provides a well-organized file and folder structure, including commonly used directories for separating code, templates, assets, and configuration files. This allows developers to focus more on implementing business logic rather than spending time on initial setup.

Starterkit Overview

You can use the Starterkit if you are creating a new project. It will be time-consuming to use the full admin version for a new project as Velvet have more than 152 pages.

We have provided all the pre-build layouts like Sidemenu, Header, footer and blank pages etc in the Starterkit.
