Setup

Use the pipenv tool

$ pip install pipenv
$ cd <proj-dir>
$ pipenv install

Start the redis server (and make sure it is running in the background)

$ redis-server

Now you need to enter the pipenv shell to run the examples:

$ pipenv shell
$ python manage.py migrate
$ python manage.py createsuperuser
$ python manage.py runserver

You should see no notifications. Now open another browser window and log into Django admin. Add a new user. If you look at the first browser windows, then you should see the new user notification.
