Error: the following arguments are required: new (How to Build an E-commerce Website with Django and Python)

Question

I am trying to start this tutorial... I had to pip install a few packages and adjust requirements.txt a bit. Now, I'm trying to rename the project and I am getting an error:

manage.py rename: error: the following arguments are required: new

            filedata = filedata.replace(current_project_name, new_project_name)

            with open(f, 'w') as file:

        os.rename(current_project_name, new_project_name)

You may be using a more recent version of Django than the video. In this case you'd want to type (to use the values in the video):

python manage.py rename demo djecommerce

The rename command now requires both the old foldername and the new name for it.
