Django Setup

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/intro/tutorial01/

1. Navigate into a directory where you want to create a project, then run:

$ django-admin startproject <<mysite>>

This will create a <> directory in the current directory. To initialize a project in an existing directory, use the command:

$ django-admin startproject <<mysite>> .

2. Verify the Django project works. Run:

$ python manage.py runserver

Note: ignore the warning about unapplied database migrations for now.

3. Visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/ in your web browser(http://localhost:8000/) and confirm that the default Django page is loaded
