Django-admin创建了django 1.8项目，但是我安装了django 1.11.2

Question

I'm a beginner in django..

I am trying to build an application using django 1.11.2 and python 3.5.2, both are installed. I have python 2.7 installed too.

I have executed this command: django-admin startproject Application1 to create a new application.

The application runs, but the project is versioned Django 1.8, however when I run python -c "import django; print(django.get_version())" to find django version, it shows 1.11.2

The command django-admin --version shows me 1.8.7

What's wrong?

Do I have two django installed versions?

Should I upgrade django-admin? How?

Please, help me.. I'm stuck.

Answer 1

From my understanding, you have two django installed on your system: in your python2 environment and python3 environment. So, what you have to do is to uninstall one of them so they won't be conflicted. Since you want to use python3 as your environment, you should uninstall django in your python2 environment with the following command:

pip uninstall django

If it says, "command not found" after you uninstall it, try to reinstall django with the following command

pip3 install django
