getting an empty folder in django new project

Question

I created a virtual environment than I installed Django successfully but when I try to create a project with Django-admin start-project project-name Django create an empty folder?

I'm expecting a folder with file with manage.py in the folder

try to deactivate the venv, delete that particular venv then create another Venv and install your dependencies — Idris Olokunola

You have an error in the command you ran. You ran Django-admin start-project project-name but the correct command is:

django-admin startproject projectname .

Don't forget to add the period . it is important because it tells the script to install Django in your current directory.

Also do this in your active virtual environment. See How to create a Django project?.
