I am not able to run my local server through atom terminal, even though all the requirements are meant. This is the error i get when I run python manage.py runserver,

File "manage.py", line 17 ) from exc ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I tried python3 manage.py runserver as suggested by some people online as a solution for mac users but it gave a different error,

ImportError: Couldn't import Django. Are you sure it's installed and available on your PYTHONPATH environment variable? Did you forge t to activate a virtual environment?

Sharing the screenshot of my atom terminal.

could you try to install django again using pip3? - ymochurad

Make sure you also installed django for python3. By doing pip -V you can verify that your pip belongs to the python installation you expected.

You might need to use pip3 if you're running python 2 and 3 in parallel. Alternatively, you can use python3 -m pip install Django to make sure it's for python 3
