🔒 How to use requirements.txt

[unreal crater]

trying to import the stuff in requirements.txt into visual studio, but I've barely used python before and I keep getting errors no matter which approach I try.

pip install requirements.txt -r

doesn't work for me as I was told to do and creating a new environment creates it but visual studio doesn't let me select it.

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

if you don't know terminal basics then it's really hard for me to help

[tired marsh]

In cmd prompt type cd and then your folder name where there is file

[unreal crater]

they're downloading now thanks, an issue is however there were some github links that it was throwing errors about, is there a particular way I have to install them?

[graceful sierra]

What are the links?

[unreal crater]

lemme find them here

-e git+https://github.com/SingleZombie/DL-Demos.git@c4fe857197bb6d044656fb5da25f8b4c970bcee4#egg=dldemos

[graceful sierra]

And what's the error with that?

[unreal crater]

ERROR: /home/jiahao/OpenLane-V2 is not a valid editable requirement. It should either be a path to a local project or a VCS URL (beginning with bzr+http, bzr+https, bzr+ssh, bzr+sftp, bzr+ftp, bzr+lp, bzr+file, git+http, git+https, git+ssh, git+git, git+file, hg+file, hg+http, hg+https, hg+ssh, hg+static-http, svn+ssh, svn+http, svn+https, svn+svn, svn+file).

[regal marsh]

Do you have git installed?

[unreal crater]

ah do I have to have github installed?

[graceful sierra]

git

[unreal crater]

[regal marsh]

does the github cli (gh) even work without git?

[graceful sierra]

I think it installs Git itself and hands of to it for the most part
