[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/contributing/#running-
django-s-test-suite-for-the-first-time]
Currently we have this:
"Before running the test suite, enter the Django tests/ directory using
the cd tests command, and install test dependencies by running"
{{{python -m pip install -r requirements/py3.txt}}}

But this could be have been more clear and straightforward. instead
telling user to enter into tests folder we could simply say:
"Before running the test suite, install test dependencies by running:""
{{{python -m pip install -r tests/requirements/py3.txt}}}

This would be more clearer and straightforward.

Comment:

Thanks for the idea. This would require also rewriting the section below
that shows running `./runtests.py`. I don't think it's worth it.
