 *** Note: You need to create empty DB in either psql shell or pgadmin tool before running python manage.py makemigrations and python manage.py migrate (If you want to use custom user model, DO NOT RUN python manage.py makemigrations/migrate until you have created your custom user model, otherwise Django will revert to its default User Model. Changing from Django's default user model to a custom user model is possible, but unsupported and prone to many errors. Do this first before anything else if that's what you want for your app)
