Setting up Gitbash, Terminal on Windows

Using Python from Anaconda:

• Download and install Anaconda. Highly recommended to install Anaconda for current user instead of all users.
• Create or modify your .bashrc file, at a location like:

C:\Users\oscar\.bashrc

• Add a line that points to the path of Anaconda script, like the following:

. /c/Users/oscar/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh

• You may also want to add the following lines:

alias python3='python'
conda activate

If you encounter the following error when running Django command createsuperuser:

Superuser creation skipped due to not running in a TTY. You can run manage.py createsuperuser in your project to create one manually. You may want to add the following line to C:\Users\oscar\.profile:

alias python='winpty python'

Using Python from Microsoft Store:

Add the following lines to bashrc instead:

alias python='winpty python.exe'
alias pip='winpty python.exe -m pip'
