Create a base.html template in templates/base.html. It should contain a title and a content block, like this:

<html>
<head>
<title>
{% block title %}{% endblock %}
</title>
</head>

<body>
{% block content %}{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>

Add the “startcbv” app to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'startcbv',
)

For all of the following steps, replace “things” with the name of the app that you wish to create:

python manage.py startcbv things

If you’re done using startcbv, you can remove it from INSTALLED_APPS now; otherwise, leave it in to create more class-based view apps. Add your “things” app to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'things',
)

Add your “things” app URL pattern to urls.py:

url(r'^things/', include('things.urls')),

Then:

python manage.py syncdb
python manage.py runserver
