Creating the superuser for Django
Now, we will run the necessary command to create the superuser
for Django that will allow us to authenticate our requests. We will create other users later.
Make sure you are in the restful01
folder that includes the manage.py
file in the activated virtual environment. Execute the following command that executes the createsuperuser
subcommand for the manage.py
script to allow us to create the superuser
:
python manage.py createsuperuser
The command will ask you for the username you want to use for the superuser

Email address:
