Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to support python3 yet (it seems that it will be supported in ~~ 2.0. It seems that it was not in time for ~~ 2.0, it seems to be 3.0. (2016-04-16)) Requires Python2.

Install itself is very easy, run a shell script or install with pip.

Now that the installation is complete, check the help with the command.

#lektor --help


Usage: lektor [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  The lektor management application.

  This command can invoke lektor locally and serve up the website.  It's
  intended for local development of websites.

Options:
  --project PATH   The path to the lektor project to work with.
  --language TEXT  The UI language to use (overrides autodetection).
  --version        Show the version and exit.
  --help           Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  build              Builds the entire project into the final...
  clean              Cleans the entire build folder.
  content-file-info  Provides information for a set of lektor files.
  deploy             Deploy the website.
  dev                Development commands.
  plugins            Manages plugins.
  project-info       Shows the info about a project.
  quickstart         Starts a new empty project.
  server             Launch a local server.

It seems that you can easily start a project by adding quickstart as an option.

# lektor quickstart

Lektor Quickstart
=================

This wizard will generate a new basic project with some sensible defaults for
getting started quickly.  We just need to go through a few questions so that
the project is set up correctly for you.

Step 1:
| A project needs a name.  The name is primarily used for the admin UI and
| some other places to refer to your project to not get confused if multiple
| projects exist.  You can change this at any later point.
> Project Name: "Enter the name of the project"

Step 2:
| Your name.  This is used in a few places in the default template to refer
| to in the default copyright messages.
> Author Name ["Author's name"]:

Step 3:
| This is the path where the project will be located.  You can move a
| project around later if you do not like the path.  If you provide a
| relative path it will be relative to the working directory.
> Project Path ["Project path"]:

Step 4:
| Do you want to generate a basic blog module?  If you enable this the
| models for a very basic blog will be generated.
> Add Basic Blog [Y/n]: Y

That's all. Create project? [Y/n] Y

The project was created immediately, and when I cd to the created folder and executed the tree command, I could see the created file.

The rest seems to be editable.

If you check setup.py, you can see that it is based on various projects created by mitsuhiko, isn't it?
