When I install Mezzanine using pip and follow the docs, I consistently get the following error:
mezzt/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/conf/init.py", line 83, in getattr
val = getattr(_wrapped, name)
AttributeError: 'Settings' object has no attribute 'DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE'
The documentation should reflect the actual usage, and either there should already be a value preset for DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE, or it should be listed as a prerequisite in the documentation.

### Anything else?
Any advice on how to sling a basic blog or something up with this to use as a starting point would help me out, but I guess that the mailing list is likely better for that.
If this is a matter of the docs on here being ahead of the code, too, that's easy to fix.
https://mezzanine.readthedocs.io/en/latest/overview.html#installation says that its latest version is 4.3.1, so if the docs need some TLC I'm happy to contribute a few extra lines here and there.
Is there an existing issue for this?
Current Behavior
When I install Mezzanine using pip and follow the docs, I consistently get the following error:
mezzt/lib/python3.10/site-packages/django/conf/init.py", line 83, in getattr val = getattr(_wrapped, name) AttributeError: 'Settings' object has no attribute 'DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE'
It's worked around by the following:
echo "DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE='FileSystemStorage'" >> project_myblog0/settings.py
Then I rerun the commands from the docs.
Expected Behavior
The documentation should reflect the actual usage, and either there should already be a value preset for DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE, or it should be listed as a prerequisite in the documentation.
Steps To Reproduce
Follow the docs here: https://mezzanine.readthedocs.io/en/latest/overview.html#installation
