url(r'^$', branding_views.index, name='root'), # Main marketing page, or redirect to courseware
url(r'', include('student.urls')),
# TODO: Move lms specific student views out of common code

File "/edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/lms/urls.py", line 6, in <module>
from django.conf.urls import include, url, path
ImportError: cannot import name path
The above error is saying that you can't import path from django.conf.urls. It seems you are using older version of django. so, try the following command to install old version.
$ pip install Django==1.11
and go to file /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/lms/urls.py and remove path from import. Then it looks like below.
from django.conf.urls import include, url
