  1. Install the Celery library:
pip install celery
  1. Install the Django Celery Beat library:
pip install django-celery-beat
  1. Add 'django_celery_beat' and 'celery' to the INSTALLED_APPS list in your Django project's settings:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ... other apps ...
    'django_celery_beat',
    'celery',
]
  1. Set up the Celery configuration in your Django project. Create a celery.py file in the same directory as your settings.py:
# celery.py
from __future__ import absolute_import, unicode_literals
import os
from celery import Celery

# set the default Django settings module for the 'celery' program.
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'your_project.settings')

# create a Celery instance and configure it using the settings from Django
app = Celery('your_project')

# Load task modules from all registered Django app configs.
app.config_from_object('django.conf:settings', namespace='CELERY')

# Auto-discover tasks in all installed apps
app.autodiscover_tasks()

Replace 'your_project' with the actual name of your Django project.

# settings.py
CELERY_BROKER_URL = 'redis://localhost:6379/0'
CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = 'redis://localhost:6379/0'

Replace the URL with the appropriate broker and result backend for your project.

  1. Run migrations to create necessary database tables for Celery Beat:
python manage.py migrate

celery -A your_project beat -l info
