To download packages and modules in Python using pip3 and the requirements.txt file, follow these instructions:
Create a requirements.txt file: Open a text editor and create a file called requirements.txt. Each line should contain the name of a package you want to install, optionally followed by a specific version or version range.
Save the requirements.txt file: Save the requirements.txt file in any location of your choice, such as alongside your Python scripts or in a convenient folder.
Open a command-line interface: Launch a terminal or command prompt on your computer.
Navigate to the directory with the requirements.txt file: Use the cd command to move to the directory where you saved the requirements.txt file. For example, if it's located on your desktop:
$ cd Desktop
Install the packages: Once you're in the directory with the requirements.txt file, execute the following command to install the packages:
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
This command instructs pip3 to read the requirements.txt file and install the packages listed, including their dependencies.
Ensure that you have pip3 installed, which serves as the Python package manager. If you don't have it installed, consult the official documentation for instructions on installing pip3 specific to your operating system.
By following these steps, the packages specified in the requirements.txt file will be downloaded and installed into your Python environment.
