How can i fix this? At first, I created a virtual environment where I installed django and created a project using the same command and I did not get the error, but when I tried to run the python manage.py runserver command, I got this error:

(venv) C:\Users\GAbraham.AECIGROUP\DEV\trydjango\venv>python manage.py runserver
C:\Users\GAbraham.AECIGROUP\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python.exe: can't open file 'C:\\Users\\GAbraham.AECIGROUP\\DEV\\trydjango\\venv\\manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Answer 1

You should be in the project's root folder in order to run the command python manage.py runserver

According to your error, you are somewhere in venv folder.

You should be in the trydjango folder (according to the screenshots) and then run the above command.

Hope this helps!
