How to create a requirements.txt file in Django project?

Question

I have been trying to create a requirements.txt file from the Pycharm terminal but it is adding all unnecessary packages as well. What should I do to show only used packages? Thanks, requirements.txt:

Answer 1

Install freeze:

python -m pip freeze 

And create file:

pip freeze > requirements.txt

Answer 2

Check out this Snakefood

Especially the command sfood-imports which finds and lists import statements in python project

So it is not depended on your env but rather on the code that you wrote

Answer 3

pip freeze > requirements.txt

Answer 4

With "pipreqs", you can create a requirements.txt in Django project:

So, install "pipreqs":

pip install pipreqs

Then, run this short command below in the root directory of your Django project to create a requirements.txt:

pipreqs
