pip install -r requirements.txt [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'requirements.txt' pip install -r requirements.txt [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'requirements.txt' git git

pip install -r requirements.txt [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'requirements.txt'


If you are using a virtual environment just use the following line.

pip freeze > requirements.txt

It commands to create the requirements file first.

Or in dockerfile, RUN pip freeze > requirements.txt .


A better way of doing this is write this on the root directory of your terminal:

find . -regex '.*requirements.txt$'

It will search in your root directory and all subfolders for a file called requirements.txt. After the command response, you can get the directory and run the pip install -r requirements.txt on it.


If you are facing this issue while using a docker or flowing getting started guide from docker site then you need to update your Docker file.

just add following line to create the requirements.txt file before the line "RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt" in your Dockerfile

RUN pip freeze > requirements.txt
