[Python] How do I fix django.db.utils.OperationalError: no such table: when migrations don’t...

Good day everyone, I’m a new intern and I’m trying to learn Django. I was tasked with looking over this new branch of the project that was recently updated. I downloaded a zip file from the github and I used this command python manage.py runserver then I got this error message django.db.utils.OperationalError: no such table: streaming_data_streaminginfo

I tried using this command python manage.py makemigrations streaming_data but I’m still getting the same error. I tried python manage.py showmigrations and got the exact same error. Another possible solution is to delete and recreate the database but I don’t want to mess with the database.

My supervisor told me to make a super user and connect on the admin page with my login credentials and go look at the tables. When I used python manage.py createsuperuser I got the django.db.utils.OperationalError: no such table: streaming_data_streaminginfo error again. So, I went to an older branch and opened the admin page, but I didn’t see the tables. Here's the complete error message
