How to integrate Django and Cygwin?

Question

I have a Windows box with cygwin, python and django installed.

Now I want to run django-admin, but when I do I get the error:

$ django-admin.py
c:\\Pytho         


        

Answer 1

Just copy the django-admin.py to the current location you are working on for e.g

on Cygwin:

/projects/

on your windows directory it will look like this:

C:\cygwin\home\\projects\

once you copy the file, you can create your project by typing this command:

$ python django-admin.py startproject mysite

and that's all - you have completed your first project using the Cygwin linux-like environment.
