Django Admin Create Superuser

John on August 13, 2021

Before you can login to the admin panel of your Django project, you'll need to create a superuser account. This is done by calling the createsuperuser command using manage.py.

First, open your terminal and cd to the root of your project where the manage.py file is located.

cd ~/myproject

Now run the following command to create a superuser.

python manage.py createsuperuser

Follow the instructions provided to create a username and password and keep those logged down somewhere safe.

You can now login to your application by going to /admin.
