Yeoman generator for a Django REST API that keeps things simple, yet makes everything work nicely on Heroku. A lot of the settings are taken from the excellent cookiecutter-django.
To begin, your computer first needs node.js. Once you have that, you need Yeoman pre-installed. Yeoman lives in the npm package repository. You only have to ask for him once, then he packs up and moves into your hard drive.
npm install -g yo
Then, we need the django-rest generator, i.e. plug-in. You install generator-django-rest from npm.
npm install -g generator-django-rest
Finally, for every new project you would initiate the generator in an empty folder.
mkdir myproject
cd myproject
yo django-rest
