1. Add cmsplugin_news to INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py file.
2. Run python manage.py syncdb management command.
3. Add the cmsplugin_news.urls to the CMS_APPLICATIONS_URLS in your settings.py file.
4. Add the cmsplugin_news.menu.get_nodes to the CMS_NAVIGATION_EXTENDERS in your settings.py file.
5. Create a page in CMS and in the advanced settings section of the admin for that page, for Navigation extenders select News navigation and for application select News (Restart of the server required due to caching!)
6. Create the proper templates for your site, use included with the app as example.

CMS_APPLICATIONS_URLS = (
    (`cmsplugin_news.urls`, `News`),
)

CMS_NAVIGATION_EXTENDERS = (
    (`cmsplugin_news.menu.get_nodes`, `News navigation`),
)

To avoid confusion add a application template to the CMS which is like other templates but without any placeholders. That way users won't get tempted to fill the placeholders and then complain they don't show up ;-)
