In this article, I will explain how to Generate a requirements.txt file for any project based on imports libraries using pipreqs
First, install pipreqs : pip install pipreqs
after that you can use any of these commands :
Usage:
pipreqs [options] [<path>]
Arguments:
<path> The path to the directory containing the application files for which a requirements file
should be generated (defaults to the current working directory)
Options:
--use-local Use ONLY local package info instead of querying PyPI
--pypi-server <url> Use custom PyPi server
--proxy <url> Use Proxy, parameter will be passed to requests library. You can also just set the
environments parameter in your terminal:
$ export HTTP_PROXY="http://10.10.1.10:3128"
$ export HTTPS_PROXY="https://10.10.1.10:1080"
--debug Print debug information
--ignore <dirs>... Ignore extra directories, each separated by a comma
--no-follow-links Do not follow symbolic links in the project
--encoding <charset> Use encoding parameter for file open
--savepath <file> Save the list of requirements in the given file
--print Output the list of requirements in the standard output
--force Overwrite existing requirements.txt
--diff <file> Compare modules in requirements.txt to project imports
--clean <file> Clean up requirements.txt by removing modules that are not imported in project
--mode <scheme> Enables dynamic versioning with <compat>, <gt> or <non-pin> schemes
<compat> | e.g. Flask~=1.1.2
<gt> | e.g. Flask>=1.1.2
<no-pin> | e.g. Flask
Example
$ pipreqs /home/project/location
Successfully saved requirements file in /home/project/location/requirements.txt
after that, you will find the requirement.txt was added to the folder path
