Good morning,
I was recently given  a django project to manage at work.
However, i noticed the project has neither a django-admin.py or a
manage.py file.
Is that normal?
There is usually a manage.py file in the root of the project.
django-admin.py is put in the Python path when Django is installed.
If it is, how do i run the project on my local machine for testing
purposes?
* Establish a virtualenv setup (optional but recommended)(separate topic)
* install the same version of Django locally (the file structure you
show indicates a possibly older Django)
* install the same version of the database server locally
* dump the database on the server and load it locally
* mkdir ~/envs
* cd envs
|* ||python django-admin.py startproject projname (or use python3)
At this point you have the bones of the project into which you should be
able to see where to copy the projname directories and files. After
doing so ...
* ~/envs/projname$ python manage.py runserver
This will probably generate errors indicating which 3rd party packages
need to be installed on the local machine. In theory when they are all
installed you should be able to launch the software.

Good luck

The file structure is something like this:
Project Name
app1
app2
app3
app4
app5
models.py
forms.py
__init__.py
urls.py
views.py
admin.py
Each app contains the following:
models.py
forms.py
__init__.py
urls.py
views.py
admin.py
