Satchmo installation

Been playing with Satchmo today. One issue I ran into, is I installed the Trunk version of Django, which Satchmo apparently isn’t compatible with; it apparently expects Django 1.3. The easiest way to get started with a very fresh install of Satchmo is to go through the following steps.
Setup and activate virtual environment:
~/projects$ virtualenv test ~/projects$ cd test ~/projects/test$ source bin/activate
Make sure you have PIL installed:
sudo apt-get install python-imaging
Install Satchmo:
~/projects/test$ hg clone https://chris1610@bitbucket.org/chris1610/satchmo ~/projects/test$ cd satchmo ~/projects/test/satchmo$ python setup.py install
Install all the other requirements:
~/projects/test/satchmo$ pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt
Setup sample store
/projects/test$ python source/satchmo/scripts/clonesatchmo.py /projects/test$ cd store /projects/test/store$ python manage.py runserver
Then just shoot your browser to:
http://localhost:8000
