1. create a new poetry project;
2. Create virtual env and activate it;
3. use poetry add django, asgiref and sqlparse command to add django latest version to the pyproject.toml file; this command does also installs django in the virtual env;

• pyproject.toml lists all the project dependencies;

• poetry.lock keeps all the project dependencies constant so that if other people want to use your project, they will be able to install the exact same versions;

• see also Setting up a basic Django project with Poetry

• Return to the terminal. In the terminal, create a Django project called my_project in the current directory.

• poetry run runs the django-admin command for me from the virtual environment that will have all the dependencies that we specified earlier

• Remember that the shortcut to refer to the current directory is a single dot . at the end of the command.

Initiate a Django project with the Django admin command:

poetry run django-admin startproject my_project .

Command syntax:

django-admin startproject project_name directory_name

• Return to the terminal and start the Django server with the following command:

poetry run python3 manage.py runserver

• Open your browser and see a bare-bones Django project.

• Now we have a Django project created, we need to make an app. To do this, we use the manage.py file. In the terminal, type:

poetry run python3 manage.py startapp hello_world

• Note: Check the explorer panel to see the new hello_world app directory has been created.

• In hello_world/views.py, below from django.shortcuts import render, type:

from django.http import HttpResponse

• add a Python function named index. Inside the function, we are returning a simple HTTP response.

• To connect the app you will need to scroll down through the my_project/settings.py file to find the INSTALLED_APPS list.

poetry run python3 manage.py runserver
