Two issues I've seen.

On the webserver install page under nginx you have (http://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation/web-server/):

ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/netbox

Should be:

ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/netbox default

On the page for generating a secret key on the netbox page (http://netbox.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation/netbox/):
Under creating the secret key, it tells you to run:
netbox/generate_secret_key.py

This file at the top directs you to /usr/bin/env python - on ubuntu using python3, this doesn't work. It should be /usr/bin/env python3. Given that python3 is the recommendation at this point, I would assume the file should be updated, or somewhere in the steps we should be doing an ln -s python3 python.
