Unable To Install Simple JWT in my Django Project

Question

Here's my setup right now:

Pip Freeze:

asgiref==3.3.1
Django==3.0
djangorestframework==3.10.0
djangorestframework-simplejwt==4.6.0
PyJWT==2.0.1
pytz==2021.1
sqlparse==0.4.1

Settings.py

from pathlib import Path

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'rest_framework',
    'snippets.apps.SnippetsConfig',
]


REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_PAGINATION_CLASS': 'rest_framework.pagination.PageNumberPagination',
    'PAGE_SIZE': 10,
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework_simplejwt.authentication.JWTAuthentication',
    )
}

When I run $ python manage.py runserver I get this error

ImportError: Could not import 'rest_framework_simplejwt.authentication.JWTAuthentication' for API setting 'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES'. ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rest_framework_simplejwt'.

I have tried importing it at the top of settings.py like this

import rest_framework_simplejwt

and have tried adding it to my installed_apps.

Nothing is working. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I'm following this guide: https://django-rest-framework-simplejwt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html

make sure that you are using the right env. may there is a difference between the environment that you run 'pip freeze' and the python environment that Django is using.
