Deploy Django - Create Requirements

When you create a Django application, there are some Python packages that your project depends on.

Django itself is a Python package, and we have to make sure that the server where we deploy our project also has the Django package installed, and all the other packages your project requires.

Luckily there is a command for this as well, just run this command in the command view:

The result of the above command, is a file called requirements.txt being created in the project:

The file contains all the packages that this project depends on: with this content:

my_tennis_club/requirements.txt :

Now the hosting provider knows which packages to install when we deploy our project.

But Elastic Beanstalk needs more information, go to the next chapter to create an "EB" config file.
