Description
They are incomplete and it seems that some of the steps need changes for modern distros.
Specific areas that need to be improved:
- Dealing with dependencies (see also #330) and virtualenvs
- Setting up postgresql
- Running a dev server, with static files actually working (after digging: requires
DEBUG = True)

Research direction
Start with the existing installation instructions and review issue #330 for dependency guidance. Check the documented virtualenv and dependency steps, PostgreSQL setup, and development-server instructions, including the stated DEBUG=True requirement for static files. Done means a newcomer on a modern distro can follow the instructions successfully.
