Installation on Heroku

If you want to use Heroku to host your Django application, checkout this project

https://github.com/josephmisiti/generic-django-project-heroku

Just follow directions and you should have a django app running on Heroku in a few steps!

Installation

First, get cookiecutter

$ pip install cookiecutter

Then execute the following command:

$ cookiecutter https://github.com/josephmisiti/generic-django-project.git

Setting Up The Database

I like to use postgres, so I suggest installing PostGreApp. Once that is installed, execute the following commands

$ createdb <DBNAME>

Then sync and execute migrations

$ python manage.py syncdb
$ python manage.py migrate

Done! If you are not using OSX, you're on your own. It's pretty easy to install Postgres on UBUNTU (see fabfile.py), but I have no experience on Windows.
