I've followed numerous tutorials on how to setup a Django project with MongoDB but still get the same errors when running the command for testing:
python manage.py runsever
Here is the link I've been following:

Here are the errors I get from the above command:

AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'insert'
I have no idea why this isn't working and ideally I just want a database setup to use specifically for storing JSON documents. Is there an easier alternative to connecting Django with another database that is ideal for storing JSON information?
For clarification:
INSTALLED_APPS should be tuple.
He gets AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'insert' because mongodb does not handle tuple INSTALLED_APPS correctly. The default in mongodb is insert list. This is already fix before but now it's gone.
There suggestion are:
