1. Add "pbm" and "pbm.templatetags" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
  ...
  'pbm',
  'pbm.templatetags',
  ....
)

If you are using django.js in your site app, do not forget to update JS_I18N_APPS_EXCLUDE.

List pbm templates only after your Django site's templates, to allow for template extension.
