After you've answered a couple of questions, you should see something similar to this:

===========================================================================
Your project skeleton has been created under /path/to/your/project .

If you install a development version of your package now, the dependencies will be automatically installed for you as well:

$ pip install -e .

You can install the optional speedup packages too:

$ pip install blueberrypy[speedups]

Finally, you need to install a database driver such as psycopg2:

$ pip install psycopg2

Now your package is ready to be served:

$ blueberrypy serve
