Description
The Writing your first patch for Django (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/intro/contributing/) misses on mentioning the installation of django using python setup.py install .
It does have clear instructions about installing the dependencies using pip install -r requirements/py3.txt but that does not install django, if if you install django using pip install django it installs some other version of django that fails the test cases.
I cloned the latest version from github, and pip installs django1.11.7 and test cases give error, when I do setup.py install it installs django2.0 and test cases ran successfully.
so, adding a line about installing the version of django using python setup.py install will be helpful.

This isn't necessary. I think you missed the
pip install -e /path/to/your/local/clone/django/command from earlier.
