On my Ubuntu machine, before running the pip install -r requirements.txt I had to install the libpq-dev libraries (my system already had the python-dev package that are also needed according to
http://goshawknest.wordpress.com/2011/02/16/how-to-install-psycopg2-under-virtualenv/)

Being in a virtualenv, I'd rather use
/path/to/python/in/virtualenv/python manage.py syncdb
rather than ./manage.py syncdb
as manage.py has a shebang pointing to the system python.

The post_install file is not in the same directory as manage.py, so a
cd ..
command is needed in the instruction. Besides, it's executable already so no need for
chmod +x post_install
Maybe the post_install script ought to use the virtualenvs python, too?
MIght be solved by 'activating' the virtualenv and just typing 'python'

After post_install finishes, I guess django should be started with
python manage.py runserver
?

Do you have some screenshots so we know which kind of views to expect?

Cheers,

Roger
