Answer 1

In django makemigration added after 1.7 so if you are using older version of Django then you have to change settings.py and add your application in installed app like

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'Demo',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
)

and then you can run command

python manage.py syncdb
