That should be python manage.py migrate in the project root directory.

If you're running migrate from your own workspace, not Treehouses' . It will fail since you still have no data to migrate. Once you start making models, that's the time when you're gonna need it. First do python manage.py makemigrations , and then do python manage.py migrate
