All righty...not only am i new to django and python, i am new to using the terminal on my mac. so this is going to be mickey mouse stuff.
i have a few things going on: 1. i think some of my confusion is knowing where these django and python folders should be. after i install python and django, should i move the "djanjo-1.0.2-final" and "python 2.6.2" folders to my applications folder? 2. when i installed django i was told that permission was denied to create /usr/local/bin. i think that is creating a problem for me now. at one point as i tried to troubleshoot the problem below, i manually created the directories: ~user/usr/local/bin . Now, that's not where my Python or django folders are - they're in the applications folder. i don't know if that helped or just screwed it up. is usr/local/bin supposed to be in my root user directory? 3. when i type the command "django-admin.py startproject mysite" i get command not found. i believe that is due to django-admin.py not being on my system path (page 14 of the django book). so, i need to use this "sudo ln ... " command, right? i found out out where my python site directory is, using this command from Webmonkey: python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()" I get this result: /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages I've tried a bunch of ways to do the sudo ln command but i can't get it to work. sometimes it says "file already exists" and other times "no such user or directory" or an "illegal option." what is the correct way to enter that command? And do i need to enter my password for that command, as the Webmonkey tutorial says? By the way, when i type echo $PATH i get: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin No idea what that means. I realize this is a bit of a mess. But this is what it's like to start out I guess. Thanks for your assistance.
