Question

currently I need to setup a production Django app in my computer and I would like to know what’s the best way to do it? The production server uses virtualenv and I executed the following commands to get some info about the environment. Thanks

Answer 1

You should be able to do this on the current server:

pip freeze -l > requirements.txt

Then this on other machines:

pip install -r requirements.txt

There are related pip docs online which describe the functionality.
