Select2 not working in Django. What to do?

Question

Django

Hello.
Can't apply Select2 autocomplete selector in my form in Django.
It seems that I do everything according to the instructions :
installed django_select2;
added to INSTALLED_APP;
added path('select2/', include('django_select2.urls')),to urls;
added import to forms.py:

from django_select2.forms import Select2Widget, Select2MultipleWidget

and in class Metafor forms.ModelFormadded

widgets = {
            'mat_div_id': Select2Widget,
            'mat_speaker_id': Select2MultipleWidget,
        }

Well, I added {{ form.media.css }}in {% block extrahead %}, {{ form.media.js }}- before {% endblock content %}.
Also, just in case, I installed django-jquery , added it jqueryto INSTALLED_APP and wrote

<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/js/jquery.js"></script>

in the base template.
The only change is that instead of the default "--------" in the mat_div_id field, there is now an empty string (but you can't enter anything into it, just click and get a regular drop-down list).
Maybe you need something else that is not indicated in the documentation?

The problem was solved when

<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/js/jquery.js"></script>

moved from the base template to the template with the form, and placed {{ form_m.media.js }} under the line with the script.
