• This sample contains the completed program from the tutorial Using Django in Visual Studio Code. Intermediate steps are not included.

To run the sample:

1. Clone the repo by running git clone -b tutorial https://github.com/microsoft/python-sample-vscode-django-tutorial.git
2. In VS Code Terminal, run python -m venv env to create a virtual environment as described in the tutorial.
3. Press Ctrl + Shift + P and run command Python: Select Interpreter. If possible, select the interpreter ending with "('env': venv)"
4. Activate the virtual environment by running env/scripts/activate if you are on Windows or run source env/bin/activate if you are on Linux/MacOS.
5. In terminal, run pip install django.
6. Create and initialize the database by running python manage.py migrate.
7. From Run and Debug section, select Python: Django launch configuration and hit F5.

• For steps on running this app in a Docker container, see Python in containers on the VS Code Docs website.

• CSS is lost if you set DEBUG=False in settings.py; the workaround is to include an added script at the end of dockerfile.txt to serve static file differently. See Issue 13 for details.
