How to set relative url for a css file in Django

Question

enter image description here

My django project is pictured above:

I'm trying to set a path to my css using:

<link href="{% static "css/bootstrap.min.css" %} rel="stylesheet">

In my settings.py I have:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR,  'templates'),

When I run the project I get:

TemplateSyntaxError at /index/

Invalid block tag: 'static'

What am I doing wrong?

Do you have {% load staticfiles %}

The problem maybe is: You don't loaded tag for staticfiles.

{% load staticfiles %}

You should load staticfiles first, and then you can use static tag.

Make sure you put this at least above the first time you use {% static %}. Also note that you will need to use {% load staticfiles %} in each template that you want to use the {% static %} tag.
