I have just been assigned a specific task which is about Python. When I was about to set it up on my local machine, I found a file whose name was requirements.txt in the project directory. Explain to me how I can install all the necessary dependencies and libraries for my specific project.

Here is the method given to install requirements.txt for getting the dependencies for your Python project:-

Using pip First, open your command line interface, it will navigate the directory that contains the “requiremwnts.txt”, file and implement the following command

  “pip install -r requirements.txt”

Thus above command will read the requirements.txt files and install all their respective versions which are listed within the file

  Sample “requirements .txt’’ file content

# requirements.txt

Pandas==1.3.1

NumPy==1.21.1

Matplotib==3.4.3
