Hello @ALEK_BARSKY, I suspect you’re trying to follow some instructions from [this page](https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OpenOPS/pages/60227913/Managing+Open+edX+Tips+and+Tricks). I’m afraid that it’s outdated. What task are you trying to perform? If you want to run some Django management command, in devstack you can do it like this: ```auto make lms-shell ./manage.py lms print_setting DEBUG ``` If you run native installation: ```auto sudo su edxapp -s /bin/bash cd source edxapp_env /edx/bin/manage.edxapp lms print_setting DEBUG ``` ---

Hi Demid, thanks so much for your reply. It is really helpful. I want to arrange a demo of Open edX to my good friend who has a school that was closed recently. He wants to start using edX for his students. The software is complicated for me as a first time user. Is there any way where i can get some guidance? THanks, Alek. ---

@ALEK_BARSKY, you always can ask questions here, or in the [Slack channel](https://openedx.slack.com/archives/C02SNA1U4). Also, you may consider using fully managed installation. Many of providers listed on [this page](https://open.edx.org/get-started/) have trial options, allow you to customize your instance and provide support. ---

Hi, It took me while to understand that this admin creation is within Django application. So look up how to administer Django. It helped me to understand the install process. ---

I was poking around edX to help my friend. He runs a private school and wants to put more content on WEB. I passed my build to him and he is trying to figure out the content creation aspect of the system. I am not too involved with this project now and don’t remember details. I remember there was a way to setup staff and student user. I think that what you want to do.
