migrate fails due to auth.User

I'm trying to use rest_framework.authtoken I'm following this instructions https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/authentication/#tokenauthentication

but whenever i try to do python manage.py migrate

authtoken.Token.user: (fields.E300) Field defines a relation with model 'auth.User', which is either not installed, or is abstract.
authtoken.Token.user: (fields.E307) The field authtoken.Token.user was declared with a lazy reference to 'auth.user', but app 'auth' isn't installed.

this error happens

I red error message and thought that I need to install "auth"

so I pip install django-rest-auth but it didn't work

and this is my part of my settins.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [

    'rest_auth',
    'rest_framework.authtoken',
]
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': [
        'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
        'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
    ],
    'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': [
        'rest_framework.permissions.AllowAny',
    ]
}

it is views.py (i'm working on it so itis not completed)

@api_view(http_method_names=['POST'])
@permission_classes([AllowAny])
@psa()
def exchange_token(request, backend):
    serializer = UserSerializer(data=request.data)

    if serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True):
        user = request.backend.do_auth(serializer.validated_data['access_token'])

        if user:#drf built in token authentication??
            token, _ = Token.objects.get_or_create(user=user) # drf token authentication
            return Response({'token':token.key})
        else:
            return Response(
                {'errors':{'token':'Invalid token'}},
                status = status.HTTP_400_BAD_REQUEST,
            )

I'm trying to do this to use that "Token.objects~~" there is no migration file i can fix.. documents just told me to do python manage.py migrate

anyone please inform me what is wrong..
