Hi, first of all sorry if this isn't the right place where post deployment issues but I was unable to find a forum/mailing list. If any, tell me.

My problem: I'm using Chakra Linux (Archlinux derivate); I've installed all required packages (mongodb, django, celery, mysql, etc).

Now, when I start installation with 'python fabfile.py' I got the following error:

[gcala@chakra NewsBlur]$ python fabfile.py
---> You need to fix django's settings. Enter python and type `import settings`.

that should be related to django and S3. If I run, as suggested, `import settings` from python console I read:

>>> import settings
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "settings.py", line 449, in
from local_settings import *
ImportError: No module named local_settings

Does NewsBlur require Amazon S3 account? I have to setup django (which I dunno) before installing NB?
