Building a site with Django and my index.html page is not rendering images properly.

Building a site with Django and my index.html page is not rendering images properly. The image loads up fine when I open the HTML file in the browser, but when I do python manage.py runserverfrom powershell the HTML page doesn’t render any of the images.

The code is below– why is it not rendering when running in the server but works when I open in browser?

    Django needs to know the location of the static content to server them.
    Do the following:

    1. Set the path for settings/STATIC_DIR to the place where you are storing your images
    2. Provide a STATIC_URL which would appear to client
    3. Pass the context_instance from your view code to the template
    4. Use the url in the template {{STATIC_URL}}path_to_your_image_from_static_dir
