Re: Problems getting started

Again, don't install as root, use virtualenv. This will save you headaches in the future, and unless you have an inexcusable reason to have Django run as root, you shouldn't.

Sincerely,

I think you might need to install as root or sudo.

From memory.....

sudo python setup.py install

Also, try executing "which django-admin.py" at the terminal.  That
will tell you the location of the executable.  Basically, I'm curious
if it will even find it, as I'm thinking it didn't install at all.  I
just installed the 1.4 rc last night on Debian.  I didn't have any
issues.
