Django ModuleNotFoundError after creating models

Question

I’ve started learning Django and struggling with creating/migrating a model.
Everytime I try to type python manage.py migrate(or anything), I get the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘People’.

Here’s my directory structure;

|- VLCase
    |- VLCase
        |- models.py 
        |- urls.py
        |- settings.py
        |- asgi.py
        |- __pycache__
        |- wsgi.py
    |- manage.py
    |- db.sqlite3

Here’s my models.py;

from django.db import models

class People(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)

I added People into INSTALLED_APPS;

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'People',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
]

I couldn’t find the answer. I would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

What you should write in your INSTALLED_APPS is the name of your application, so in your case it’s VLCase, not People.

Your People class only refer to one of the models of your application and doesn’t need to be added to your INSTALLED_APPS.
