+Prerequisites
+=============
+
+Before we go any further, I'm going to assume that you've got the following
+things:
+
+* You're running some flavor of Linux or Mac (untested) as your desktop OS.
+* You've got Django 1.4 installed on your box. If you don't, run ``pip install
+  django==1.4`` right now!
+* You have an `Amazon Web Services <http://aws.amazon.com/>`_ account. This is
+  required if you want to use our production deployment tools. If you don't
+  want to run your code in production, don't worry about it.
+* You have a `Heroku <http://www.heroku.com/>`_ account. Heroku is the best
+  python web host on the internet. If you'd like to deploy your site to
+  production, having an account there will be extremely useful.
+* You have the `Heroku toolbelt <https://toolbelt.heroku.com/>`_ installed.
+  This only applies to you if you plan on deploying your stuff to production
+  (same as the above).
