[SOLVED] Windows 10 Run django project on virtual Ubuntu server

Issue

I have Windows 10 on my laptop. I faced with some problems using Windows for develop django app. For example, celery library couldn't run tasks on Windows 10. So I want to install ubuntu and use it with my pycharm for django projects. I download ubuntu in Windows Store. But how can I set it for work with my django projects and his virtual environment?

Solution

Without passing by the windows store, here's are the step to run Django project on a windows 10 Operating system using a Virtual Machine:

Install Virtual Box, Download the Ubuntu ISO, create a virtual machine with Virtual Box and pick your Ubuntu ISO, Install Ubuntu, then inside your Ubuntu Virtual machine do these commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip virtualenv

Create a virtual env for Django

virtualenv myenv

Activate it

source myenv/bin/activate

Install Django

pip install django

Then put your Django project to your Ubuntu virtual machine and run it

python manage.py runserver

You can also download and use Pycharm directly on the VM
