This tutorial will walk you through the building blocks that make up REST framework. It'll take a little while to get through, but it'll give you a comprehensive understanding of how everything fits together.
-## Getting started
+## Setting up a new environment
Before we do anything else we'll create a new virtual environment, using [virtualenv]. This will make sure our package configuration is keep nicely isolated from any other projects we're working on.
- mkdir -p ~/.env
- virtualenv --no-site-packages ~/.env/djangorestframework
- source ~/.env/djangorestframework/env/bin/activate
+ mkdir ~/env
+ virtualenv --no-site-packages ~/env/djangorestframework
+ source ~/env/djangorestframework/bin/activate
-Now that we're inside a virtualenv environment, we can install our packages requirements.
+Now that we're inside a virtualenv environment, we can install our package requirements.
pip install django
pip install djangorestframework
-Now we're ready to get coding.
+***Note:** To exit the virtualenv environment at any time, just type `deactivate`. For more information see the [virtualenv documentation][virtualenv].*
