The program 'django-admin' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install python-django`

I'm using ubuntu 14.04. I'm new to django, I was just trying to follow some tutorial to learn it and faced this issue.

Answer 1

Reinstall django:

sudo apt-get purge python-django    
sudo pip uninstall django
sudo apt-get install python-django
sudo pip install django --upgrade

Also you can use virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper to have a better package isolation for multiple projects.

Answer 2

Run this command: sudo easy_install django
It will create a file named django-admin at /usr/local/bin
Then, you can run the following command successfully: django-admin startproject mysite
