The error is due to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc file doesn’t have django path properly point.  
It took me 3 days to fix the error after several searching here and there

1. Add django to your path. open python, `import django`, then run `django` to see django’s path. then add it to your `~/.bashrc` (or `~/.zshrc` if you’re using `zsh`). more info in [here](https://askubuntu.com/a/60219/970218)

export PATH =" put your path here "

Save the file and that should solve the problem 😍
