I am preparing learning tutorial application in Django, which will contain
PDF's that I need to display in my templates. I tried <embed>, <iframe>
etc but nothing worked. Do I need to install something to make it work?

I'm pretty sure that you can't render pdf to the browser. You can either
provide links for the users to download and view the pdfs, or extract the
content from the pdfs and put that in your templates.

You may be able to get what you want with javascript. I can't vouch for
this, but I found it searching -

good luck

I am preparing learning tutorial application in Django, which will contain PDF's that I need to display in my templates. I tried <embed>, <iframe> etc but nothing worked. Do I need to install something to make it work?

Here is example and demo with pdf and <object> tag

It should also work with iframe
