Getting started

Okay, we're ready to get coding.To get started, let's create a new project to work with.

cd ~
django-admin startproject tutorial
cd tutorial

Once that's done we can create an app that we'll use to create a simple Web API.

python manage.py startapp snippets

We'll need to add our new snippets app and the rest_framework app to INSTALLED_APPS. Let's edit the tutorial/settings.py file:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'rest_framework',
    'snippets.apps.SnippetsConfig',
]

Okay, we're ready to roll.
