-The `rest_framework.authtoken` app includes a south migration that will create the authtoken table.
+The `rest_framework.authtoken` app includes both a Django native migration (for Django versions >1.7) and a south migration that will create the authtoken table.
+
+----
+
+**Note** By default both Django (>1.7) and South will look for a module named `migrations`. To avoid a collision here, in order to use South you **must** provide the `SOUTH_MIGRATION_MODULES` option in your `settings.py`:
+
+
+ SOUTH_MIGRATION_MODULES = {
+ 'authtoken': 'rest_framework.authtoken.south_migrations',
+ }
+
+This tells South to look in the `south_migrations` module for the `authtoken` app.
+
+----
+
If you're using a [custom user model][custom-user-model] you'll need to make sure that any initial migration that creates the user table runs before the authtoken table is created.
