I created a project in virutalenv with all libraries installed. So, when I move the virtualenv directory to new machine/environment, How do I get it work? And in new machine what needs to be installed apart from standard python?
I have all referece of directory and import refering to virtual env only.
I know this is very basic question. But, I was not able to find answer.
You shouldn't move your virtualenv since it is essentially linked to your system python and the binary won't necessarily work on other machines.
However, you can export a list of installed packages and install them in another virtualenv through a requirements.txt file.
# Generate a requirements file
pip freeze > requirements.txt
On the new machine, first create a new virtualenv and then install the packages by using the requirements.txt file as a reference.
# Install the packages
pip install -r requirements.txt
