###### 1. Install dependencies
```shell
pip install django-auto-logout
# pip install pytz 
```
###### 2. Append to settings middlewares
```python
MIDDLEWARE = [

    'django_auto_logout.middleware.auto_logout',
]
```
Make sure that the following middlewares are used before doing this:
- mdjango.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware

###### 3. Modify context_processors in settings.py:

        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
                # !!! Add this !!!
                'django_auto_logout.context_processors.auto_logout_client',
            ],
        },
    },
]
```
###### 4. Add this to your templates (will add a redirect script to your html):
```html
{{ redirect_to_login_immediately }}
```

###### 5. Add below lines in settings.py
```python
AUTO_LOGOUT = {
    'IDLE_TIME': 600, 
    'REDIRECT_TO_LOGIN_IMMEDIATELY': True,
    'MESSAGE': 'The session has expired. Please login again to continue.'
    }
```

###### 6. Display messages in templates:
```html
{% for message in messages %}
    <div class="message {{ message.tags }}">
        {{ message }}
    </div>
{% endfor %}
```
