In this article I will teach you how to make and run a python-django app in less than 5 minutes.

Prerequisite: Python (preferably python 3) is already installed.

Step to create and run the django app:

Install virtual environment. You may proceed without virtual environment too, but in long run it is going to be very helpful. $ pip install virtualenv

Create a virtual environment.
$ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 helloworld_VE

Activate the virtual environment.
$ source helloworld_VE/bin/activate

Install the latest django framework in virtual environment.
$ pip install django

Create your project. 
$ django-admin startproject myproject

Go inside newly created project directory. 
$ cd myproject

You will see a file manage.py  and a directory with same name as of your project.

create an app here. Every project consist of one or more apps. These are plug-able modules which can be reused in other project if written properly. 
$ python manage.py startapp helloworld

Go inside helloworld  directory. create a new file urls.py .

Add below lines to this file and save it.

from django.conf.urls import url

from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),
]

Open views file and save below code in it. 

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.http import HttpResponse

def index(request):
    return HttpResponse("Hello World. First Django Project. ThePythonDjango.Com")

Include the app i.e. helloworld urls in main project urls file. Open myproject/urls.py file and make add below line in urlpatterns. url(r'^helloworld/',include('helloworld.urls')),

Also import include module.
from django.conf.urls import include

Now finally add helloworld  in installed apps in myproject/settings.py file .

Now run command. 
$ python manage.py runserver .

This will run the python http server on localhost and 8000 port. If you want to run it on different port, use port number in command. $ python manage.py runserver 8888 . To run it on different IP address, pass the IP address as well. Use this command to make your project available for everyone on the network.$ python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

So this was basic tutorial to set up django app in less than 5 minute. You can refer below github code and  video for same.
