mkdir project_name
cd project_name
ave // activate virtualenv
pip install djangocms-installer
djangocms -f -p . project_name

Same for me.

virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install djangocms-installer
djangocms -p . -s -f --verbose example

Creating the project
Project creation command: /usr/local/opt/python/bin/python2.7 /usr/local/opt/python/bin/django-admin.py startproject example .
/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.11/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file '/usr/local/opt/python/bin/django-admin.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
The installation failed.

The problem is using the -p . here, with the given settings, env folder is deleted, and thus it is using the system python, not the virtualenv one.

Changing to -p example (djangocms -p example -s -f --verbose example) solved it. Which I don’t like very much, I like to have my folder structure like this:

- project
  |- env
  |- manage.py
  |- project
     |- models.py
