Answer 1

The best way to use MongoDB with Django is by using DJONGO package. It is a kind of django package developed only for the purpose to make Django compatible with MongoDB.
How to install djongo
pip install djongo
Also, Addi it requirement.txt to capture requirements for next time.
Update database settings as
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'djongo',
'NAME': 'your-db-name',
'CLIENT': {
'host': 'your-db-host',
}
}
}
Run migrations
python manage.py makemigrations <app_name>
and then run migrate changes to DB
python manage.py migrate
djongo is compatible with Python >=3.6 and MongoDB>=3.4.

Answer 2

After followed above steps i install python -m pip install pymongo[srv] it works i can run django project.
After applying default migrations i was getting errors in console so i followed below step.
Why I am getting "Not Implemented Error: Database objects do not implement truth value testing or bool()." while running makemigration cmd in django
Now i am not getting any kind of error and i am able to run django project with MongoDB successfully.
