From your virtualenv folder you can install Django

$ pip install django

Test your install by outputting the version from the python console

$ python

>>> import django
>>> django.VERSION

You should see the current version output, example: (1, 10, 6, u'final', 0)

Quit the console

$ git clone https://github.com/dwthomas77/mvhbc17.git

Set up the database for your project.

$ cd mvhbc17
$ python manage.py migrate

You can now run the Django webserver and see the project serving from the virtual environment on a port of your localhost domain.

Start the development webserver

go to localhost on your web browser

To run the application on a different port pass it as an argument after runserver

$ python manage.py runserver 4000
