FAQs

Learn how to perform different Django specific functionalities on the Educative platform.

We'll cover the following

Creating a superuser

In Django, the superuser can be created using the following command:

python manage.py createsuperuser

However, this command creates the superuser in an interactive way i.e., it asks to enter the username, email, and password as input.

To create a superuser automatically using a script, we can use the following command:

python manage.py shell -c "from django.contrib.auth.models import User; User.objects.create_superuser( 'username', 'user@example.com', 'password123')"
