Hi. I can continue to the next one but I´d prefer to understand WHY the terminal returned what it did: I mean, I wanted it to run the server in the root directory as advised, didn´t I? Thanks for clarifying anyone. PS. it is scaring me that even simple things in my code just don´t work. it kind of takes the wind off your sails sometimes.

I am getting the same issue. Because I can’t cd into djangovet nothing is rendered on the right screen. Worst of all it says that djangovet does not exist.

Not very “vet” all this…
