After installing, you need to add rest_framework to your INSTALLED_APPS settings.
INSTALLED_APPS = (

If you're intending to use the browsable API you'll probably also want to add REST framework's login and logout views. Add the following to your root urls.py file.
urlpatterns = [

url(r'^api-auth/', include('rest_framework.urls', namespace='rest_framework'))
]
