Install the needed requirements for this project.
pip install -r requirements.txtNext we need to create and update the local database Django uses internally.
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py migrate oauth2_providerAnd that is already all you need to do for setup. So we can now start the server locally on port 8000.
python manage.py runserver 127.0.0.1:8000To register a new client, simply visit: http://127.0.0.1:8000/o/applications/.
And to test your authorization you can visit http://django-oauth-toolkit.herokuapp.com/consumer/ to generate a correct link.
There are several advantages of using Django:

Advantages of using Django in combination with OAuth plugin:
- several authentication backends already available
- can be used with OAuth module by design
- simple setup
