Unable to set up Jinja2 with Django -

i've installed django 1.9.7, , have pythons 3.4.3 , 2.7.10 on ubuntu.

these steps i've followed:

1. made new project django-admin startproject testproject
2. cd testproject/testproject
3. made app within project django-admin startapp testapp
4. made directory templates in app mkdir testapp/templates , added basic index.html template in there

5. edited settings.py change template backend django.template.backends.jinja2.jinja2, editing line 57 of default settings file, , add testproject.testapp installed_apps; templates section therefore this:

   templates = [     {         'backend': 'django.template.backends.jinja2.jinja2',         'dirs': [],         'app_dirs': true,         'options': {             'context_processors': [                 'django.template.context_processors.debug',                 'django.template.context_processors.request',                 'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',                 'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',             ],         },     }, ] 

6. edited urls.py, adding from testproject.testapp import views , url pattern url(r'^$', views.index),

7. edited testapp/views.py adding

   def index(request):     return render(request, 'index.html') 

8. cd ..

9. ran server python3 manage.py runserver, or python manage.py runserver -- similar effect
10. take browser http://localhost:3000

i error. on command line this:

internal server error: / traceback (most recent call last):   file "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/django/template/utils.py", line 86, in __getitem__     return self._engines[alias] keyerror: 'jinja2' 

followed exception caused "during handling of above exception", matches exception see in browser:

i similar traces python 2.

i found this question has similar error message (keyerror: 'jinja2') seems separate problem, , this bug report has same error again solution install jinja2, jinja2 installed. @ least, can run python or python3 , import jinja2. pip says jinja2 date.

i must missing crucial -- ideas?

the error context_processors because jinja2 backend not support argument.

you should add additional backend templates setting, rather replacing existing backend django jinja2. see this answer more information. if replace existing backend, apps require django templates not work, including admin.

finally, jinja2 backend templates in testapp/jinja2, not testapp/templates.
