How to use requirements.txt to install all dependencies in a python project
PythonPiprequirements.txtPython Problem Overview
I am new to python. Recently I got a project written by python and it requires some installation. I run below command to install but got an error.
# pip install requirements.txt
Collecting requirements.txt
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement requirements.txt (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for requirements.txt
I searched on google and found this link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28167987/python-pip-trouble-installing-from-requirements-txt but I don't quite understand what the solution in that post.
Below is my requirements.txt file:
# cat requirements.txt
ordereddict==1.1
argparse==1.2.1
python-dateutil==2.2
matplotlib==1.3.1
nose==1.3.0
numpy==1.8.0
pymongo==3.3.0
psutil>=2.0
Is there a easy way to install all required dependencies in this python project?
EDIT1
Below is the output from pip3 install -r requirements.txt .
# pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Requirement already satisfied: ordereddict==1.1 in /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages (from -r requirements.txt (line 1))
Collecting argparse==1.2.1 (from -r requirements.txt (line 2))
Using cached argparse-1.2.1.tar.gz
Collecting python-dateutil==2.2 (from -r requirements.txt (line 3))
Using cached python-dateutil-2.2.tar.gz
Collecting matplotlib==1.3.1 (from -r requirements.txt (line 4))
Using cached matplotlib-1.3.1.tar.gz

Python Solutions
Solution 1 - Python
If you are using Linux OS:
- Remove
matplotlib==1.3.1fromrequirements.txt - Try to install with
sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib - Run
pip install -r requirements.txt(Python 2), orpip3 install -r requirements.txt(Python 3) pip freeze > requirements.txt
If you are using Windows OS:
python -m pip install -U pip setuptoolspython -m pip install matplotlib
Solution 2 - Python
pip install -r requirements.txt for python 2.x
pip3 install -r requirements.txt for python 3.x (in case multiple versions are installed)
Solution 3 - Python
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
Solution 4 - Python
(Taken from my comment)
pip won't handle system level dependencies. You'll have to apt-get install libfreetype6-dev before continuing. (It even says so right in your output. Try skimming over it for such errors next time, usually build outputs are very detailed)
Solution 5 - Python
Python 3:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Python 2:
pip install -r requirements.txt
To get all the dependencies for the virtual environment or for the whole system:
pip freeze
To push all the dependencies to the requirements.txt (Linux):
pip freeze > requirements.txt
Solution 6 - Python
If you want to install all the dependencies inside the requirements file, like npm install on a Node.js project
in python you run the following command:
pip3 install -r ./requirements.txt
you can use pip or pip3 both work
Solution 7 - Python
If you are using Linux as your OS then you can follow the below-mentioned steps:-
Firstly, remove matplotlib==1.3.1 from requirements.txt
After that try to install it with
sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib
Run pip install -r requirements.txt (Python 2)
or pip3 install -r requirements.txt (Python 3)
pip freeze > requirements.txt
If you are using Windows as your OS then use the following steps:
python -m pip install -U pip setuptools
python -m pip install matplotlib
