I have looked through several answers for loading CSS pages. http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/

Basically, I believe my question should be how do I get staticfiles installed?

I am confused about the settings in settings.py, and I get this error when trying to run collectstatic.

./manage.py collectstatic
Unknown command: 'collectstatic'

In settings.py, I’ve added 

'django.contrib.staticfiles',

to INSTALLED_APS

and

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
 "/home/amr/django/static_media",
)

STATIC_ROOT = "/home/amr/django/static_media"

The error I’m getting is there is no module staticfiles.

    It seems like you are running an old version of django, the staticfiles application is included in the latest 1.3-alpha or trunk version. To find out which version of django your project is running on try running the following command on a shell

    $ python -c "import django; print django.get_version()"
