Now you can migrate your database and create a superuser .But migrate your database is recommended just type : python
manage.py migrate
And now go to the directory of manage.py and Just type:
(projectenv) $ python manage.py collectstatic

(projectenv) $ sudo ufw allow 8000
(projectenv) $ python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
