Mac OS Django-admin startproject mysite 收到语法错误

Question

I'm trying to follow the tutorial on https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/intro/tutorial01/ and have made it to the step where you are supposed to run django-admin startproject mysite in the command line.

I have tried running the followings:

django-admin startproject mysite

django-admin.py startproject mysite

django-admin startproject.py mysite

$ django-admin startproject mysite

and

$ django-admin.py startproject mysite

and all of them receive

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

either with a ^ under the "t" in "startproject" or under the $ when I've tried that.

I've searched through about ten different posts trying to figure out how to proceed, and none of the answers provided have worked for me. They all continue to receive

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I would really appreciate any insight into why this is happening and how to fix it.

Answer 1

What did you get as a response when you typed python -m django --version in terminal?

Given that you have django installed properly, django-admin startproject *name of project* is the correct syntax. (the first line you listed is correct).

Perhaps try to re-install django and try again. You can access the docs for installing here
