Bug Description

The quickstart guide at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/horizon/quickstart.html says to run horizon like this once you've done a git checkout and created a local_settings.py:

$ tools/with_venv.sh ./manage.py runserver
tools/with_venv.sh: line 4: tools/../.venv/bin/activate: No such file or directory

This doesn't work because a venv doesn't exist yet. It turns out the page does say to run run_tests, but it doesn't make it clear that this is required to build the venv, which might confuse newcomers.
