To download (or upload) your Django app (blogapi) to your PythonAnywhere account, the steps depend on where your code currently is (e.g., on your computer or a remote server).

Sin

ws a Linux terminal (00:26 ~ $ ls), it looks like you are already in a shell (perhaps local or remote).
Below are two common cases — choose the one that fits you 👇

🧩 CASE 1: You are already inside PythonAnywhere

If this ls output is inside PythonAnywhere, and you want to download your blogapi folder to your local PC, run:

✅ Option A — Create a zip file and download via browser

zip -r blogapi.zip blogapi

Then in the PythonAnywhere Dashboard, go to the Files tab → navigate to your home directory → click blogapi.zip → it will download directly.

🧩 CASE 2: You are on your local computer and want to upload blogapi to PythonAnywhere

If this terminal is on your local machine, follow these steps:

1. Zip your project

zip -r blogapi.zip blogapi

2. Open PythonAnywhere

• Go to https://www.pythonanywhere.com/

• Log in → Files tab → click Upload a file

• Upload your blogapi.zip.

3. Unzip it inside PythonAnywhere console

Once uploaded, open a Bash console in PythonAnywhere and run:

unzip blogapi.zip

🚀 (Optional) Deploy the Django app on PythonAnywhere

After the upload/unzip:

pen the Web tab.

1. Create a new web app → choose Manual configuration → Python 3.x.

2. Set the source code path to where your blogapi directory is.

3. Set the WSGI file to point to your Django wsgi.py, e.g.:

   import sys
   path = '/home/yourusername/blogapi'
   if path not in sys.path:
       sys.path.append(path)
   
   from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
   application = get_wsgi_application()
   

4. In the Bash console, set up the virtual environment and dependencies:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   pip install django djangorestframework
   pip install -r requirements.txt   # if you have one
   python manage.py migrate
   python manage.py collectstatic
   

5. Go back to the Web tab → click Reload.

Your app should now be live at
