How do I setup Django development environment on Mac?

For your information, I am going to use Microsoft Visual Code Studio to develop Python software based on django.

1. Install Visual Code Studio
2. Install Python Extension - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.python

3. Install a version of Python 3

   brew install python3

   If you face any issue while installing by brew, please run following command to get more help.

   brew doctor

   Once Python 3 is installed, you should run following command for your convenience

   brew link python

   If you face error something like below

   Linking /usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.1... Error: Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir - /usr/local/Frameworks

   You can fix it as following

   sudo mkdir /usr/local/Frameworks
   sudo chown $(whoami):admin /usr/local/Frameworks
   brew link python

4. Create a project environment for Django

   mkdir py
   cd py
   python3 -m venv env

   From above, I just created project folder as py and setup virtual environment that means we will start project on that folder. You can use different name instead of "py".

The documentation I referenced is actually located at https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/tutorial-django, so you can know more if you have any additional doubt or curious.
