In most cases only Django needs to be installed manually since PyScaffold
will download and install its requirements automatically when using

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
In case of Redhat or Fedora:
sudo yum install python-setuptools
If you have pip installed, then simply type:
pip install --upgrade pyscaffold
to get the lastest stable version. The most recent development version can be installed with:
pip install --pre --upgrade pyscaffold
Using pip also has the advantage that all requirements are automatically
installed.
If you want to install PyScaffold with all features like Django and cookiecutter support, run:
pip install --upgrade pyscaffold[ALL]
If you run commands like python setup.py test and python setup.py docs
within your project, some additional requirements like py.test will be
installed automatically. This is quite comfortable on the one hand but will

setup.py commands like doc and test:
