That seems reasonable, though it looks like it's a few years old by now.
You can use my project template, it comes with the admin enabled out of the box:
https://github.com/skorokithakis/django-project-template
You just install that, add the TODOs that it says, and then run it with "./manage.py migrate; ./manage.py createsuperuser; ./manage.py runserver", and that's about it.
