how to create a django project in windows command promt, i am getting an error of “the system cannot find the the path specified”

Question

While creating a django project in windows using command prompt,I created a directory using mkdir djproject ->my directory name . Then when I tried creating a project using cd project -> my project name , I received the error message "the system cannot find the path specified".

(myproject) C:\Users\USER>django-admin --version
2.2.1

(myproject) C:\Users\USER>mkdir djproject

(myproject) C:\Users\USER>cd djproject1
    The system cannot find the path specified.

Answer 1

(myproject) C:\Users\USER>django-admin --version
2.2.1

[1](myproject) C:\Users\USER>mkdir djproject <-- You created a directory named djproject

[2](myproject) C:\Users\USER>cd djproject1 
The system cannot find the path specified. <-- This error is caused by [2], 
because you're trying to cd into a directory that does not exist.

If you would type dir before the [2] command, you would see that the only folder is djproject . The correct syntax for creating a Django App is: django startproject <your_app_name>
