[Django]-Moving project from one computer to another

7👍

Usually, you keep a list of your project requirements in requirements.txt and keep the file at the root of your project. Example requirements.txt content:

Django==1.6.5
lxml==3.3

On the new computer, you clone the repository containing the project source code (or get it different way), then install the requirements via pip python package manager:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Also, having separate virtual environments for every project is basically must have.


In order to create the list of requirements from your current python environment (virtual or system-wide), run:

pip freeze > requirements.txt
