Re: Convoluted setup information

The problem is that installing virtualenv and so on is OS specific - and requires a lot of different setups. However - it IS optional. You can definately install django per default on your system - should you want that.

I think the reason the setup documents for django don't include information about this is because it's not really a Django issue. It's more of a Python issue - and you should have that kind of expertise before starting to write django applications (some python experience is required). 

Screenshots would likewise not be helpful because of the differences in setting up python, virtualenv and so on on different platforms. What works in Linux does not work in Windows at all....

Hi, I'm new to Django and I found the setup guide pretty useless. Had to refer to many articles on stackoverflow just to get basic django (+pip+python+virtualenv) installed.

Why make it so complicated? 

Why not include screenshots?

Also rather than pointing only to this group for help why not link to the best stackoverflow articles that cover the problems commonly faced by new users?
