To mention that a few minutes ago I installed django on a wrong folder and everything worked..
Please help! Thank you!

Answer 1

In the main directory root add the following command to create the environment:
$ python3 -m venv venv this code will create a folder called venv in the root. Which basically is the virtual environment folder.
Then add the following command to activate the virtual environment:
$ source venv/bin/activate
your_project_folder/
|
|-- your_main_app_folder/
| |
| |--Folder_with_controllers/
| | settings.py
| | urls.py
| | ...
| |
| |--App_folder/
| |--Other_app_folder/
|
|--venv/
If the code works fine your bash should look like this:
(venv) <the_path_for_the_folder> your_project_folder %
After activated your environment you can now install django and other packages.
Ps: make sure you instal and activate the virtual environment folder not in the your_main_app_folder.
