It looks like the path to django-admin.py is not in your system path. You can try using the absolute path. ie: /usr/lb/python2.7/dist-packages/django/bin/django-admin.py startproject mysite The tutorial also gives the following advice: “command not found: django-admin.py”
*django-admin.py* <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/ref/django-admin/>should be on your system path if you installed Django via python setup.py. If it’s not on your path, you can find it in site-packages/django/bin, where site-packages is a directory within your Python installation. Consider symlinking to *django-admin.py*<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/ref/django-admin/>from some place on your path, such as /usr/local/bin.
