I am using PyCharm and Python 3.8 - 64 bit. I am trying to learn to implement GeoDjango and Leaflet with a Postgis database. I have a postgresql database with postgis extension. I also have psycopg2 installed following the comments from this earlier thread of mine. psycopg2 not detected by postgres django In settings.py,
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis',
'NAME': 'my-database',
'USER': 'my-user',
'PASSWORD': 'my-password',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '5432',
}
}
When I try to run python manage.py makemigrations I get the following error.

ARY_PATH in your settings.
I have looked at a lot of threads but I couldn't find a solution.
Solved from this thread GeoDjango on Windows: "Could not find the GDAL library" / "OSError: [WinError 126] The specified module could not be found" . 1. Basically go to this site https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ . 2. Download the 32 bit or 64 bit package as per your requirements. 3. During installation, select Web-GIS Install and click next. 4. Under selected packages, select GDAL, MapServer. Select Apache if it allows. 5. There will be a prompt to install some additional dependencies. Allow them. 6. Agree to all the terms and conditions prompts. 7. After installation, go to settings.py and add the following before INSTALLED_APPS = [...]
if os.name == 'nt':
import platform
OSGEO4W = r"C:\OSGeo4W"
if '64' in platform.architecture()[0]:
OSGEO4W += "64"
assert os.path.isdir(OSGEO4W), "Directory does not exist: " + OSGEO4W
os.environ['OSGEO4W_ROOT'] = OSGEO4W
os.environ['GDAL_DATA'] = OSGEO4W + r"\share\gdal"
os.environ['PROJ_LIB'] = OSGEO4W + r"\share\proj"
os.environ['PATH'] = OSGEO4W + r"\bin;" + os.environ['PATH']
