I used Django-Cookiecutter to boost start my Django development. Now after building the website and wanting to host it, my choice was python anywhere and that's because I have already hosted a website there but that website wasn't built using Django-Cookiecutter. To host It on python anywhere am currently following the Django-Cookiecutter Official docs to host on pythonanywhere I have completed the first steps till it's time to run python manage.py migrate which results in the following error:
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Set the REDIS_URL environment variable
In Full The Error Msg is :

When I tried other manage.py commands like python manage.py collectstatic they resulted with the same error msg.
