I want to run this app on a local server and in the end on AWS. Can someone guide me on the steps I can take?

Ah the big step.

Look at could 9 then pythonanywhere, pythonanywhere runs on AWS but does all the IT techy stuff for you. I really struggle with gunicorn and all that wsgi nigx what ever its called.

Cloud 9 is just like using workspaces but with more grunt, and a great IDE plus its free!

for your local machine, 

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

My url file is as follows:

from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns

from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^courses/', include('courses.urls', namespace='courses')),
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^$', views.hello_world),
]

urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()

And this is the views file

from django.shortcuts import render


def hello_world(request):
    return render(request, 'home.html')

This is the setting file

import os

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))


# SECURITY WARNING: keep the secret key used in production secret!
SECRET_KEY = '&s5%_8r2y$9%pbnph*xy*%v^a_!vc0bmbqz%(+l#pc@k7n2r)+'

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': ['templates',],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [

                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
        },
    },
]

WSGI_APPLICATION = 'learning_site.wsgi.application'


# Database
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/settings/#databases

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'db.sqlite3'),

# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/howto/static-files/

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'assets'),
)

And this is the home.html file

{% extends "layout.html" %}

{% block title %}Well hello there!{% endblock %}

{% block content %}
<h1>Welcome!</h1>
{% endblock %}

And finally this is the template file:

{% load static from staticfiles %}

<!doctype html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/layout.css' %}">
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="site-container">
            <nav>
                <a href="{% url 'views.hello_world' %}">Home</a>
                <a href="{% url 'courses:list' %}">Courses</a>
            </nav>
            {% block content %}{% endblock %}
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

Thanks.

Weird, I don't see anything obviously wrong.

Is that the only error message you get? What if you try to go to one of the courses/ URLs?
