Manage.py : Unknown command: 'migrate'

I'm using django and I'm facing a little problem. I would like to use the 'migrate' command with manage.py But when I try I get this error message:

  Unknown command: 'migrate'
  Type 'manage.py help' for usage.

I have south installed (I installed it with pip), but I still can't use this command. I don't know what to do.

Thank you for your help!

This is likely caused by following the 1.7 (DEV version) tutorial when we all get the last stable version (1.6) installed by pip.

It would not appear migrate is even a part of 1.7 in general!

Maybe the following command solve your problem: python manage.py syncdb

So either follow 1.6 tutorial or follow the instructions to install the 1.7 dev version of Django.

You have to include south in INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py.
