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.
