For Mac/Linux:

create a virtualenv for the project from PyCharm > Preferences > Project Interpreter > Python Interpreters.
activate your new virtualenv in the PyCharm terminal
run terminal command sudo pip install -r requirements/dev.txt -- enter your password for the computer
create a Django run configuration in PyCharm
cd into sprout-frontend
run terminal command npm install

create a Node.js run configuration in PyCharm

You must be using git-bash for the following setup.

cd into sprout-backend
create a virtualenv for the project from PyCharm > Preferences > Project Interpreter > Python Interpreters.
activate your new virtualenv in the git-bash terminal. -- to do this, note the path that your new virtualenv was created in and source the activate script. It will be something like source C:/Users/*your_username*/.virtualenvs/sprout/Scripts/activate
run terminal command pip install -r requirements/dev.txt
create a Django run configuration in PyCharm
cd into sprout-frontend
run terminal command npm install -- npm install may complain after it's done doing its thing on Windows. Ignoring it is fine because step 8 will make sure that it will complete the install.
run terminal command bower install -- if your terminal complains about bower not being installed, run npm install -g bower and then run bower install
