See the second warning in your output. You may want to add that path to your PATH.

Or, what I would actually suggest is that you create a virtual environment in which to do all this work.

See the more detailed instructions at How to install Django on Windows | Django documentation | Django

You want to install with the checkbox to “Add Python to PATH” set.

I’m not sure what you mean by “it fails”.

That output you posted is fundamentally correct for what you would expect to see at that point.

If you’re still having problems, I would suggest:

  • Removing all python installations. All Condas. Everything that even might create a potential conflict.

  • Reboot.

  • Verify that all instances of Python, along with all DLLs and affiliated libraries have been removed from the system.

  • Install one instance of the correct runtime as admin, ensuring that the install is set up for all users and that it is added to the path.

  • Reboot again.

  • Try to use it.

  • If successful, create your virtual environment and install Django in it.
