I am unable to do any migrations in any django project. Need help.

$python manage.py makemigrations
No changes detected

$django-admin check
...
...
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting
DATABASES, but settings are not configured. You must either define the
environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call
settings.configure() before accessing settings.

What exact problem do you think you have here? Your first message tells you that you have no changes that need migrations. The second is completely irrelevant; if you wanted to validate things you should run manage.py check, but it has no relationship with migrations at all.
