I am reading a book (\"Learning Django Web Development\" by Sanjeev Jaiswal and Ratan Kumar) on Django, but the book is based on an earlier version of Django (prior to version 1

Answer 1

First we’ll need to create a user who can login to the admin site. Run the following command:

$ python manage.py createsuperuser

Enter your desired username and press enter. Username: admin

You will then be prompted for your desired email address:

Email address: admin@example.com

The final step is to enter your password. You will be asked to enter your password twice, the second time as a confirmation of the first.

Password: **********
Password (again): *********
Superuser created successfully.

Answer 2

$ python manage.py createsuperuser

It will ask username and password

Answer 3

For Django 2

User.objects.create_superuser(username='name',email='email',password='password')

From the docs

create_superuser(username, email, password, **extra_fields)

Same as create_user(), but sets is_staff and is_superuser to True.

Which can be embedded in a script, called from a command line or triggered via an API

Answer 4

first run

$ django-admin startproject mysite 

in cmd prompt,then apply migration by

cd mysite

mysite:

python manage.py makemigrations

then

python manage.py migrate

after that

python manage.py createsuperuser

Answer 5

you create superuser with this :

python manage.py createsuperuser

this will create superuser for you and you can create many superuser . but notice before you can make super user you must run these command :

python manage.py makemigrations

and them :

python manage.py migrate

Answer 6

I think you want to run these commands:

python manage.py makemigrations creates migration files based on your models

python manage.py migrate will create the tables in your db based on the migration files created

(see docs for more details on database migrations)

python manage.py createsuperuser will create a superuser for your application in the database (docs)
