You can install django-tracking which provides following features -

  1. Tracks the following information about your visitors:
    Session key
    IP address
    User agent
    Whether or not they are a registered user and logged in
    Where they came from (http-referer)
    What page on your site they last visited
    How many pages on your site they have visited
    Allows user-agent filtering for visitor tracking

  2. Automatic clean-up of old visitor records
    Can ban certain IP addresses, rendering the site useless to visitors from those IP's (great for stopping spam)

  3. The ability to have a live feed of active users on your website

  4. Template tags to:
    display how many active users there are on your site (THIS IS WHAT YOU R ASKING)
    determine how many active users are on the same page within your site
    Optional "Active Visitors Map" to see where visitors are in the world

Installation

I already tried this but am not able to install this package: i am getting this error.
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting CACHES, but settings are not configured. You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.

Its clearly saying that You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.

Better if you could raise a fresh question, with proper info what you are trying to achieve, what is the problem, what is the error and what is expected. People should be able to help you.
