- ===============
- Troubleshooting
- ===============
- This page contains some advice about errors and problems commonly encountered
- during the development of Django applications.
- .. _troubleshooting-django-admin:
- Problems running ``django-admin``
- =================================
- ``command not found: django-admin``
- -----------------------------------
- :doc:`django-admin </ref/django-admin>` should be on your system path if you
- installed Django via ``pip``. If it's not in your path, ensure you have your
- virtual environment activated and you can try running the equivalent command
- ``python -m django``.
- macOS permissions
- -----------------
- If you're using macOS, you may see the message "permission denied" when
- you try to run ``django-admin``. This is because, on Unix-based systems like
- macOS, a file must be marked as "executable" before it can be run as a program.
- To do this, open Terminal.app and navigate (using the ``cd`` command) to the
- directory where :doc:`django-admin </ref/django-admin>` is installed, then
- run the command ``sudo chmod +x django-admin``.
- Miscellaneous
- =============
- I'm getting a ``UnicodeDecodeError``. What am I doing wrong?
- ------------------------------------------------------------
- This class of errors happen when a bytestring containing non-ASCII sequences is
- transformed into a Unicode string and the specified encoding is incorrect. The
- output generally looks like this:
- .. code-block:: pytb
- UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x?? in position ?:
- ordinal not in range(128)
- The resolution mostly depends on the context, however here are two common
- pitfalls producing this error:
- * Your system locale may be a default ASCII locale, like the "C" locale on
- UNIX-like systems (can be checked by the ``locale`` command). If it's the
- case, please refer to your system documentation to learn how you can change
- this to a UTF-8 locale.
