#19437 closed Cleanup/optimization (fixed)

improved documentation for django installation

Description

Documentation "topics/install" reads:

sudo pip install -e django-trunk/

In the newer installation instructions from code.djangoproject.com/ticket/19349:

pip install -e /path/to/your/local/clone/django/

The newer version properly explains that this is the path/to/django, but also that the last element is /django/ which reflects the proper subdirectory to be referenced with the pip command.

I believe topics/install is correct as you want to point pip install to the directory with setup.py, no? Perhaps the contributing tutorial should be clarified if it's not clear what directory /path/to/your/local/clone/django/ refers to.
