ImportError: No module named 'environ' with gunicorn on django

Question

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 with Django 2.0.5 with Django Cookiecutter. I am trying to start a Django server on DigitalOcean and trying to bind gunicorn to 0.0.0.0:8000. python manage.py runserver works fine, but the issue is that it says it can't import environ. Any tips are greatly appreciated, Thanks.

I've ran

pip install-r base.txt

pip install-r local.txt

pip install-r production.txt

and reinstalled django-environ 0.4.4

This is the error that I receive when I run the following gunicorn command:

sudo gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 config.wsgi:application

(venv) root@django-manaland:/home/django/mana/manaland# sudo gunicorn -b 0.0.0.0:8000 config.wsgi:application

Uhm... I have the suspect that the problem is in the imports in production.py. Could you just copy and paste the imports in production.py? — Karim N Gorjux
did you try to run the manage.py shell using the different settings? (qa, prod...) — Karim N Gorjux
Yes I am using sudo gunicorn -b 0.0.0.0:8000 config.wsgi:application and I justed added the manage.py — Dominic M.

You need to run your manage.py file with the local settings

python manage.py runserver --settings=config.settings.production

ImportError: No module named 'environ' with gunicorn on django
