django-admin(1) on Linux

The text f299cc817dc6, as Debian 9 (Stretch) shipped it.

Utility script for the Django Web framework django-admin is Django's command-line utility for administrative tasks. This document outlines all it can do. In addition, manage.py is automatically created in each Django project. manage.py does the same thing as django-admin but takes care of a few things for you: The django-admin script should be on your system path if you installed Django via its setup.py utility. If it's not on your path, you can find it in site-packages/django/bin within your Python installation. Consider symlinking it from some place on your path, such as /usr/local/bin. For Windows users, who do not have symlinking functionality available, you can copy django-admin.exe to a location on your existing path or edit the PATH settings (under Settings - Control Panel - System - Advanced - Environment...) to point to its installed location. Generally, when working on a single Django project, it's easier to use manage.py than django-admin. If you need to switch between multiple Django settings files, use django-admin with DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or the --settings command line option. The command-line examples throughout this document use django-admin to be consistent, but any example can use manage.py or python -m django just as well. python -m django was added.
