为什么我不能用 django 运行“python manage.py startup APP_NAME”？

Question

I'm trying to build a Django app, but it doesn't let me startup the app so I can bring it to the development server. I run python manage.py startup APP_NAME , where I expect the app to run. Instead, I get an error saying there is no such file or directory called manage.py. However, I have it open.

Is there a reason for this?

Answer 1

Perhaps what you need to ensure on your terminal what is the directory your project is located, by using command prompt "ls" if you are using Linux, or dir on Windows, then you need to activate your virtual environment using source virtual_env_name/bin/activate... then you can execute python manage.py

Answer 2

You need to run:

python manage.py startapp APP_NAME

to create new app in django
