Django web project not running

  1. My Web Application is not running on the new system it says it does not recognize "python"/ "pip as an internal and external command.

  2. My Powershell Terminal

     '''
   PS C:\Users\Nawaf  Bhatti\Desktop\learn> python -m pip install pillow

  3. My cmd

       '''
   C:\Users\Nawaf  Bhatti\Desktop\learn\web_app>python manage.py runserver
    'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
  operable program or batch file.

It's because your computer doesn't pick up the python installation,

Try running the command

python --version

It should reply with the python version installed:

Python 3.9.9

If an error occur, try running the following in cmd:

python3 --version

If the version then appears, it means you have to run your code with:

python3 manage.py runserver

Alternatively go to the Microsoft store and install python there and then run the above commands, if your version then appear then you can return to your normal way of running server

Here is a link for python on your Microsoft store
