Answer 1

The same happened with me also, but this issue is a minor one as it happens if you have multiple versions of Python on your system, you can select a specific Python version by running python3 or whichever version you want. So you should start from the beginning, uninstall Django first, then create a virtual environment, decide upon a directory where you want to place it, and run the venv module as a script with the directory path:

python3 -m venv tutorial-env

This will create the tutorial-env directory if it doesn't exist, and also create directories inside it Once you've created a virtual environment, you may activate it.

On Windows, run:

tutorial-env\Scripts\activate.bat

On Unix or MacOS, run:

source tutorial-env/bin/activate

Now, In the command prompt, ensure your virtual environment is active, and execute the following command:

py -m pip install Django

NOTE: If django-admin only displays the help text no matter what arguments it is given, there is probably a problem with the file association in Windows. Check if there is more than one environment variable set for running Python scripts in PATH . This usually occurs when there is more than one Python version installed.
