Can't run django-admin startproject mysite (ubuntu, django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured)

Question

When I try to run "django-admin startproject mysite" an error appears:

django-admin startprojekt mysite

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/django-admin", line 11, in <module>
    sys.exit(execute_from_command_line())
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 338, in execute_from_command_line

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting INSTALLED_APPS, but settings are not configured. You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.

It's a fresh installation of Ubuntu 15.04.

As default I have both python 2 and 3 installed:

python:

Python 2.7.9 (default, Apr  2 2015, 15:33:21) 


python3:

Python 3.4.3 (default, Mar 26 2015, 22:03:40) 

I have installed django via pip (sudo pip install Django).

Django seems to be installed:

python -c "import django; print(django.get_version())"
1.8.2

python3 -c "import django; print(django.get_version())"
1.7.6

What can be wrong?

You have misspelled startproject as startprojekt. Try:

django-admin startproject mysite
