Day 1: Set Up Your Python Environment

Before we dive into Django, you need Python installed. You'll also create a virtual environment to manage your project’s dependencies. Here’s how:

1. Install Python (if you haven’t already).

2. Install virtualenv:

pip install virtualenv

3. Create and activate a virtual environment:

python -m venv venv

source venv/bin/activate # on macOS/Linux
venv/Scripts/activate # on Windows

4. Next Step

In tomorrow’s post, we’ll install Django and set up your first project!
