I’m setting up a Django + Channels project and I think I messed up the order.
I ran these commands:
cd ~ mkdir social_mvp cd social_mvp mkdir socialsite mkdir core mkdir -p core/templates/core mkdir -p core/static/core/css touch manage.py requirements.txt touch socialsite/__init__.py socialsite/settings.py socialsite/urls.py socialsite/wsgi.py socialsite/asgi.py python3 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate pip install django channels django-admin startproject socialsite .What’s the correct way to do this? Should I not manually create manage.py and the socialsite/ folder first? What’s the right command order for Django + Channels?
error;
when I run `django-admin startproject socialsite . I get a error;
$ django-admin startproject socialsite . CommandError: 'socialsite' conflicts with the name of an existing file or directory.I get a CommandError saying it can’t create the project because something already exists / conflicts (it mentions socialsite and/or manage.py already existing). That makes sense because earlier I manually created manage.py and also created the socialsite/ folder + settings.py, urls.py, etc.
What’s the correct way to do this? Should I not manually create manage.py and the socialsite/ folder first? What’s the right command order for Django + Channels?
