ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'whitenoise'
```
What is the reason for this error?

Its because this App needs modules that you have not installed yet.
Please just trypip install whitenoise
or (depends on your Version of pip)pip3 install whitenoise
Thank you, now server is running, but home page shows errors,

You're using the staticfiles app without having set the STATIC_ROOT setting to a filesystem path.

You have to define the STATIC_ROOT. You have to set it in the settings. However, this error indicates that you run your app in production mode.
I don't want to offend you, but I recommend you go through a few Django tutorials, as these errors are very basic and otherwise you'll just work your way from error to error.
For this error i recommend:

Hi,
I'm glad to hear that the server is now running. Regarding the error on the home page, it seems to be related to the `STATIC_ROOT` setting. To address this issue, please try removing the following lines from the `keenthemes/settings.py` file:
whitenoise.middleware.WhiteNoiseMiddleware
whitenoise.runserver_nostatic
After removing these lines, the issue should be resolved. We appreciate your patience, and we'll make sure to fix this on our side as well.
A big thank you to Johannes Kanthak for providing assistance!
If you encounter any further issues or have additional questions, feel free to let us know.
Even after removing these lines in settings.py, it shows same errors.
Have you tried to restart your console? And restart the command "python manage.py runserver"
Thanks
Yes, it has been done,
Could you please try to redownload from here?
