Installing Django to Windows 8.1

Question

I have been following this tutorial ( https://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/django_installation/ ) to learn some python but I have become stuck at the 'Django installation' step. I have managed to create a virtual environment and the.txt file but trying

(myvenv) (base) PS C:\users\JD\djangogirls> pip install -r requirements.txt 

I get the error 'could not find version that satisfies requirement'and'no matching distribution found'. This error occurs when I have entered versions 2.2.4 & 3.0.5 of Django into the.txt file.

Have also just tried 'pip install django' and have come across the same errors. Have tried in the windows command prompt but i get an error stating pip is not recognized as an internal or external command.

I have python 3.7.6 installed.

Any help is very much appreciated

Answer 1

After enabling your virtualenv follow to following code

pip install django==2.2.2

Add django==2.2.2 in requirements.txt

pip install -r reqirements.txt
