To initialize your database in django first you want to type:
python manage.py makemigrations
then type:
python manage.py migrate
Hope this helps, if you still do not understand check the django documentation:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/intro/tutorial01/ https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/intro/tutorial02/
read page 1 and 2 of the django tutorial

thanks both. Maybe I was not clear enought ; ) I have my database create (with migrate) but need to 'populate' my database... til now, I've open a python shell and create some records... and now I will do it with Django admin ... not really convenient

You need to create a superuser with the python shell by typing python manage.py createsuperuser than enter some credentials, next login to django admin via going to your website which i think would be 127.0.0.1:port/admin and logging in to django admin, from their you should be able to see the database with the users you creates. I hope this answers your question.

Use the credentials you made with python manage.py createsuperuser to login to the django admin page
You can log in with SSH and then you will be able to populate your database through the command line or a shell
ssh <username>@ssh.pythonanywhere.com
