Key Moments - 2 Insights

Why do we use 'python -m pip install django' instead of just 'pip install django'?

Using 'python -m pip' ensures pip runs with the correct Python version, avoiding conflicts. See execution_table step 3 where the command is run.

What does 'python -m django --version' do after installation?

It checks and shows the installed Django version to confirm installation success, as shown in execution_table step 6.

💡 Hint

Check the 'Result' column for step 5 in the execution_table

At which step do we verify the Django installation?

A Step 6

B Step 2

C Step 3

D Step 1

💡 Hint

Look for the step with 'Verify installation' in the 'Action' column

Full Transcript

To install Django, first open your terminal. Check that Python is installed by running 'python --version'. Then, install Django using pip with the command 'python -m pip install django'. This downloads and installs the Django package. After installation, verify it by running 'python -m django --version' to see the installed Django version. This confirms the installation was successful.
