I, too use OS X for development. Everything runs either on BSD or Linux. Chaim, a couple of points.
A. As Ryan said, this is Django, therefore not everything is documented because you are expected to know/understand/discover the relevant Django skills required. 2. It's always a good idea to read the docs carefully, especially when you're going to write a mailing list about how they're wrong. Case in point: You mention that after step 4, it says to familiarize yourself with the sample projects. Now, not to be too nit-picky here, but that statement you mention doesn't say anything at all about running the demo stores yet. In fact, running the demo stores isn't recommended till step 18. What the docs are saying here is to familiarize yourself with the sample projects themselves -- the settings, layouts, etc. Not necessarily trying to run them right off the bat when you don't have any db set up or anything else that is necessary. D. Always take your time. Now, adding TEMPLATE_DIRS is a Django issue. You can find that in the relevant Django docs. Windows is a rather notorious platform for Python apps, fwiw. Just so we have that out of the way. So ... you have a template issue. Means Django isn't finding the templates. Did you copy the templates over? Have you looked up how to define TEMPLATE_DIRS in Django's docs & fixed that issue (because it is a Django, not Satchmo, issue)? My recommendation is to follow the docs. Familiarize yourself with the sample projects' SETTINGS & configuration, but don't try to run them just yet (cos you need to setup a db, etc., which means following the rest of the steps anyway). Get to know the whole process. We can help you along each of the steps as you run across issues in each actual step.
