$ django-admin.py startproject --template http://github.com/jp74/cms-boilerplate/zipball/master project_name
$ cd project_name
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python manage.py syncdb --migrate
$ cd config; ln -s environments/production/settings_local.py settings_local.py
Django settings are configured in config/settings_common.py and any settings added in config/settings_local.py will be picked up and override any previously defined settings.
