Can't Start Django Project


#1

[ Linux Mint ]

I’m thinking about making a move from php to python but I’m having trouble getting past the ‘Start Your Django Project’ section of this page -> https://hellowebapp.com/setup/ As soon as I get this figured out I can proceed to chapter 4 in the hellowebapp book.

Here’s a peak at my terminal input and feedback.

(venv) user@mothership myhellowebapp $ pip install Django==1.9.6

Not that I already have python 2.7 & 3.5 installed on my system and if you when referring to python my system is be default point to python 2.7. Any ideas?

SOLVED!
Just followed the steps again in a different directory and this time it worked fine. Go figure.
