Django on Fedora 30
It seemed opportune to add Django to the Fedora 30 instance that I build and maintain for my students. Here are the instructions, which I developed with the prior Fedora 28/29 instructions.
- Check your Python3 installation with the following command:
python3 -V
It should return this but if it doesn’t you should install
python3
:Python 3.7.4
- Check whether
pip3
is installation by installing it when its not:sudo def -y install python3-php
It should return:
Last metadata expiration check: 0:44:52 ago on Tue 10 Sep 2019 11:02:33 AM MDT. Package python3-pip-19.0.3-3.fc30.noarch is already installed. Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete!
- Check whether
Django
is installation by installing it when its not withpip3
installation utility:sudo pip3 install --user Django
It should return the following if installed:
Requirement already satisfied: Django in /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages (2.1.10) Requirement already satisfied: pytz in /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from Django) (2018.5)
- Check your
django-admin
account location with thewhich
utility:which django-admin
It should return the following on Fedora 30 when installed:
/usr/bin/django-admin
- Create a Django test application with the
django-admin
utility by creating a project directory. My directory is a bit deep. For reference, it is:/home/student/Code/python/django/projects
Change to that projects directory, and run the following command:
django-admin startproject test_app
After that command change directory with the
cd
command into thetest_app
subdirectory in yourprojects
directory. Run the manage.py program with the following command:python3 manage.py migrate
You should see the following:
Operations to perform: Apply all migrations: admin, auth, contenttypes, sessions Running migrations: Applying contenttypes.0001_initial... OK Applying auth.0001_initial... OK Applying admin.0001_initial... OK Applying admin.0002_logentry_remove_auto_add... OK Applying admin.0003_logentry_add_action_flag_choices...

Next, your would create an admin
account. You’re done.
