It worked!
Congratulations on your first Django-powered page.
Of course, you haven't actually done any work yet. Next, start your first app by running
python manage.py startapp [appname].
You're seeing this message because you have
DEBUG = True in your Django settings file and you haven't configured any URLs. Get to work!
12. Hit Ctrl+C to stop your server
13. end your virtual environment session
#deactivate and you will loose the (dd) environment from step 5
Enjoy!
