How to fix errors when opening Django Python projects?

Question

Django

Good day!
I want to run a Github project https://github.com/bstewartny/pnews or any other django project using PyCharm.
And with each project, the same errors occur, I think something very simple, but due to the absolute absence of experience, I can’t find and fix it. Googled solutions did not help, I just realized from stackoverflow that the django version should be accurate, and all modules are installed, in fact, I double-checked that and everything is fine.
How to solve the problem?
Error log:

Answer 1

Django tells you in plain English what you need to do:
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: The TEMPLATE_DIRS setting must be a tuple. Please fix your settings.
