The **Writing your first patch for Django**
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/intro/contributing/) misses on
mentioning the installation of django using `python setup.py install` .
It does have clear instructions about installing the dependencies using
`pip install -r requirements/py3.txt` but that does not install django, if
if you install django using `pip install django` it installs some other
version of django that fails the test cases.
I cloned the latest version from github, and pip installs django1.11.7 and
test cases give error, when I do `setup.py install` it installs django2.0
and test cases ran successfully.
so, adding a line about installing the version of django using `python
setup.py install` will be helpful.
