Following this guide:
http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/A+5+minute+guide+to+get+the+Mailman+web+UI+running
I did these steps:

wget http://www.djangoproject.com/download/1.4/tarball/ -O Django-1.4.tar.gz
tar xzvf Django-1.4.tar.gz

*Question*: could I have instead used
# apt-get install python-django python-django-social-auth

wget
https://launchpad.net/postorius/trunk/1.0.0a1/+download/postorius-1.0.0a.tar.gz
tar xf postorius-1.0.0a.tar.gz

source /opt/mailman3/bin/activate
/opt/mailman-3.0.0b1# mailman start

cd Django-1.4
sudo python setup.py install

# cd postorius/
sudo python setup.py develop

*Question*: How do I test that these steps have worked so far?

Next, the guide (
http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/A+5+minute+guide+to+get+the+Mailman+web+UI+running)
mentions:

I don't have a dev_setup directory. Also, I want to start the Web GUI on
port 80 for public access via apache.
