$ pinax tools

pinax start <starter_project> <my_project> [--dev] [--location <path>]

Create a new project based on a specific Pinax starter project.

<starter_project> must be one of the project names shown by pinax projects.

The --dev flag tells pinax-cli to install the latest starter project code from the repository rather than the most recent release. Use this option if you require the latest version of a starter project.

The --location <path> flag tells pinax-cli where to create the new project. By default the project is created in a sub-directory named my_project.
