Trying to deploy on pythonanywhere and not working - django

Question

I've downloaded the pythonanywhere installation tool and am trying to deploy with the following line:
pa_autoconfigure_django.py <https://github.com/myusername/myproject.git>
Then, I get this a key error. My project runs on local.
File "/projects/hosproject/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pythonanywhere/project.py", line 16, in __init__
self.virtualenv = Virtualenv(self.domain, self.python_version)
File "/projects/hosproject/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pythonanywhere/virtualenvs.py", line 12, in __init__
self.path = Path(os.environ["WORKON_HOME"]) / domain
File "/projects/hosproject/venv/bin/../lib/python3.7/os.py", line 678, in __getitem__
raise KeyError(key) from None
KeyError: 'WORKON_HOME'
Need some help to debug this and try to deploy again. If it helps, I'm new to Django and following this tutorial: https://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/deploy/.

As noted by Giles:
It looks like you might be running the PythonAnywhere tools from a terminal on your own machine -- you should run it in a bash console on PythonAnywhere -- you can start one from the "Consoles" page. (emphasis mine)
However I only got to this KeyError: WORKON_HOME after running several commands I shouldn't have (at least it'll make clean up easier):
$ pip3 install --user pythonanywhere
$ pa_autoconfigure_django.py --python=3.7 git#github.com:pzrq/djangogirls-tutorial-blog.git
-bash: pa_autoconfigure_django.py: command not found
$ find / -name "pa_autoconfigure_django.py"
$ /Users/pzrq/Library/Python/3.7/bin/pa_autoconfigure_django.py --python=3.7 git#github.com:pzrq/djangogirls-tutorial-blog.git
