Setting up the e-learning project

Your final practical project will be an e-learning platform. First, create a virtual environment for your new project within the env/ directory with the following command:

python -m venv env/educa

If you are using Linux or macOS, run the following command to activate your virtual environment:

source env/educa/bin/activate

If you are using Windows, use the following command instead:

.\env\educa\Scripts\activate

Install Django in your virtual environment with the following command:

python -m pip install Django~=5.0.4

You are going to manage image uploads in your project, so you also need to install Pillow with the following command:

python -m pip install Pillow==10.3.0

Create a new project using the following command:

django-admin startproject educa

Enter the new educa directory and create a new application using the following commands:

cd educa
django-admin startapp courses
