Create superuser error in devstack

Hi everyone,

I’ve just finished installing devstack on workstation. Seem there is no superuser created in installation.
I tried to create a new superuser with following command.
./manage.py lms manage_user admin admin@example.com --staff --superuser --settings=devstack

But an error is thrown out, any idea to overcome this.

WARNING:py.warnings:/edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/lms/djangoapps/courseware/__init__.py:7: DeprecationWarning: Importing 'lms.djangoapps.courseware' as 'courseware' is no longer supported
  warnings.warn("Importing 'lms.djangoapps.courseware' as 'courseware' is no longer supported", DeprecationWarning)

@phucsystem, you likely have to specify the settings module when calling ./manage.py, and you’ll also have to ensure you’re in the correct virtualenv for the edxapp.

There is also a simpler management command for what you’re trying to do called set_superuser.

There are handy links for the manage.py scripts for each service available in /edx/bin.
I like to call management commands like so:

sudo -Hsu edxapp /edx/bin/{python,manage}.edxapp lms --settings=devstack_docker set_superuser admin@example.com
