ImportError: cannot import name 'JSONField'

I'm getting the error:

 File "/home/mark/Nova/nova/lib/fields.py", line 1, in <module> from django.contrib.postgres.fields import JSONField
ImportError: cannot import name 'JSONField'

when I run python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8888. Even though I already have simplejson installed.

JSONField was added in Django 1.9 and you're using Django 1.8.2
