Design and setup Django project for a Ionic application, part 2/3

Creating Django project for our ionic application

Now that our environment is ready, we can create our Django project:

 django-admin startproject bikebackend
cd bikebackend

Then you can launch the command:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Once done you should see the following files in your directory:
The bikebackend directory which will contains the urls and setting of our Django project.
db.sqlite3 the database file. We will remove this file later since we will use PostgreSQL as database.
manage.py the python command file for our Django project.
requirements.txt the file in which we will specify the libraries used by our Django project.

If you want to verify that your Django project is running correctly, you can launch the command:

python3 manage.py runserver

And you should see something like this:
