Django: File "manage.py", line 10, in <module> execute_from_command_line (sys.argv)

I am new to Python and Django. I am trying to install Django on Linux. The version of Python currently available on the server is Python 2.4.3 I installed Python 3.4.2 following the steps below:

wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.4.2/Python-3.4.2.tgz
tar -xvzf Python-3.4.2.tgz
cd Python-3.4.2
./configure --prefix=/root/python3
make
make install

      

        
        
        
      

    

Python is correctly installed. so when i do /root/python3/bin/python3.4

i get Python version 3.4.2 so i created soft link ->ln -s /root/python3/bin/python3.4 python3

Now I have created a virtualenv via

/root/python3/bin/pyvenv-3.4 venv3.4
source venv3.4/bin/activate

      

        
        
        
      

    

then i installed DJango:

pip install Django==1.9

      

        
        
        
      

    

Django installed successfully

Created the myproj project:

django-admin startproject myproj

      

        
        
        
      

    

successfully created myproj project:

cd myproj

      

        
        
        
      

    

now when i do python manage.py migrate

i get error:

Django version -> 1.9

I haven't added any environment variables like PYTHONPATH or PATH. I must do it. If so, let me know what to install and how to install.

Requesting all of you to help resolve this error so I can get started with Django. It's almost 3-4 days I've been fighting.
