Hi, I’m currently trying to install Taiga and I’m stuck were I’m supposed to [configure Django](https://docs.taiga.io/setup-development.html#_setup_python_environment).  
The folder settings doesn 't have a **local.py.example** file in there.  
Has somebody an idea where I can find it?  
Should I can create a new **local.py** file with the data from **config.py.prod.example** or rather copy/rename **common.py**  
thanks.

> you can tune your own environment configuration by editing a `settings/local.py` configuration file to overwrite any setting in `settings/common.py`.
> 
> For a basic configuration that works with these instructions, simply copy `settings/local.py.example` to `settings/local.py`

Hi @hermann-san ,

Welcome to our community, and thank you very much for detecting a bug in our documentation. You were totally right, it was outdated.

Please take a look again to the [Dango configuration](https://docs.taiga.io/setup-development.html#_setup_python_environment) section, and tell us how it goes, or if you still require support.

Of course, you’ve been mentioned in the pull request.
