Django 2.0 Migration Error : "django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Apps aren't loaded yet."

Question

I'm having trouble with django. I'm starting a new project with only a single app, and when I'm adding one model, I can't migrate it.

Error message when migrate (or makemigrations) :

    (MapEnv) C:\Users\rossi\Desktop\Imp!act\MapEnv\ActorMap>django-admin migrate

My single model in my single app :

from django.db import models

# Create your models here.

class Actor(models.Model):
    compagny = models.CharField(max_length=255, null=True)
    full_name = models.CharField(max_length=255, null=True)
    mail = models.EmailField(null=True)

    description = models.TextField(null=True)
    domain = models.CharField(max_length=255, null=True)
    website = models.URLField(null=True)

I saw some stuff with django.setup(), but I'm not sure it was what I need, some version differences. I'm using django 2.0.6 and python 3.6 installed on a virtualenv.

What should I do ? Thank's for helping.

(MapEnv) C:\Users\rossi\Desktop\Imp!act\MapEnv\ActorMap>django-admin migrate
