 files. For example, to install requirements needed for development environment,
 you would run::
   pip install pip install requirements/development.txt
 Serving of static and media files
 ---------------------------------
 Out of the box, project templates will configure ``/static/`` as base URL for
 static files, and ``/media/`` as base URL for media.
 Root directories for locating static and media files are set-up to point to
 parent directory of project (so, one level up from ``manage.py``), in
 directories ``assets/static/`` and ``assets/media/``.
 As an example, in case you create project in ``~/tmp/``, you would have
 structure similar to:
 - ``~/tmp/myproject/``
 - ``~/tmp/myproject/manage.py``
 - Many other files and directories under ``~/tmp/myproject/``
 - ``~/tmp/assets/static/``
 - ``~/tmp/assets/media/``
 This way you can keep the assets (static and media files) outside of the project
 code tree.
 Working with the project
 ------------------------
 When running ``manage.py`` commands for a project, Django by default expects all
 settings to be found within the project's settings module. Specifically, it
 expects them all to be present in the ``settings.py`` file.
