Hi, I am following the “Getting Started With Django on Render” tutorial and all was going well until I got to “Configure Django for PostgreSQL”. I have everything copied correctly but I am getting errors now when I run python manage.py runserver this is the error:
File "/Users/user/Desktop/First_Program/Portfolio_Projects/Charter_Django_App/Charter_Django_App/config/settings.py", line 14, in <module>
import dj_database_url
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dj_database_url'
even though when I run poetry show it clearly says it is installed

And also shows in poetry.lock file.
If anybody knows why this is happening and can please give me some insight. I followed the tutorial to the T but am new to using poetry.
I am also a bit confused as to where I store the environment variables such as SECRET_KEY as the tutorial is not very descriptive at that point. I am used to using pip install environs[django] then running env = Env()
env.read_env()
And reading from the .env file
Thank you x1000 in advance to anybody that may help me get my application running
