CELERY_TASK_ALWAYS_EAGER = False
Next, make sure `redis-server` is installed (per the `Getting started with Redis`_ guide) and run the server in one terminal::
$ redis-server
Start the Celery worker by running the following command in another terminal::
$ celery -A config.celery_app worker --loglevel=info
That Celery worker should be running whenever your app is running, typically as a background process,
so that it can pick up any tasks that get queued. Learn more from the `Celery Workers Guide`_.
The project comes with a simple task for manual testing purposes, inside `<project_slug>/users/tasks.py`. To queue that task locally, start the Django shell, import the task, and call `delay()` on it::
$ python manage.py shell
>> from <project_slug>.users.tasks import get_users_count
>> get_users_count.delay()
Next, make sure `redis-server` is installed (per instructions at https://redis.io/docs/getting-started/) and run the server in one terminal::
You can also use Django admin to queue up tasks, thanks to the `django-celerybeat`_ package.
$ redis-server
Now that a task is queued and Redis is running, the final step is to start the Celery worker locally. In another terminal, run the following command::
$ celery -A config.celery_app worker --loglevel=info
