    In my case the problem was that when CMS installer asked me the languages I answer with the languages separated by ', '. When I try again and put the languages separated only by ',' it worked properly.

    The invalid truth value ” occurred due to no selection passed in the last question

    In my case the issue was with PIL library which was not build using JPEG support, which can be fixed using following steps:

    Install related libraries:

    sudo apt-get install -y libtiff5-dev libjpeg8-dev zlib1g-dev libfreetype6-dev
sudo apt-get install libjpeg8-dev liblcms2-dev libwebp-dev tcl8.6-dev tk8.6-dev python-tk
sudo apt-get install libqd-dev
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

    Reinstall PIL and CMS: 

    pip install -U --force Pillow
pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-deps djangocms-installer

    In case above doesnt work to fix PIL then try the following to correctly build PIL library: 

    $ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/`uname -i`-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so /usr/lib/
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/`uname -i`-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so /usr/lib/
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/`uname -i`-linux-gnu/libz.so /usr/lib/

    Get the Imaging/PIL library: 

    wget http://effbot.org/media/downloads/Imaging-1.1.6.tar.gz

    Extract Imaging tar and Modify Imaging-1.1.6/_imagingft.c : 

    tar -zxvf Imaging-1.1.6.tar.gz; cd Imaging-1.1.6; 
python setup.py build 
Error observed: 
x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -I/usr/include/freetype2 -IlibImaging -I/usr/include -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/python2.7 -c _imagingft.c -o build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.7/_imagingft.o

    _imagingft.c:68:31: fatal error: freetype/fterrors.h: No such file or directory
    #include
    Change the above line to:
    #include

    Retar and install 

    tar -zcvf Imaging-1.1.6.tar.gz Imaging-1.1.6
pip install -U --force Imaging-1.1.6.tar.gz

    Now follow the djangocms steps again.

    Hope it helps.
