== Verify you can create a new Django app ==

* Create a folder on the desktop called <code>django_projects</code>

* Open a new Terminal window and type the following:

cd ~/Desktop/django_projects

django-admin.py startproject myproject

* Both commands should provide no output.

* Once that's finished, type the following in the Terminal window:

cd myproject

python manage.py runserver

* The first command should produce no output. The second command will put out a bunch of output, then just sit there until you cancel it (2 steps from now).

* In your browser, go to http://localhost:8000/

* Back in the Terminal window where you ran <code>python manage.py runserver</code>, type control-c to kill the server.
