I get the “could not open requirements file: [errno 2] no such file or directory: ‘requirements.txt’” issue when trying to run the command pip install -r requirements.txt in my Django project directory.
Here is the detail of the error I got the error message:

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'requirements.txt'

Please give me some advice to solve this problem.

    The cause: I think the cause is that you didn’t update your Docker file.

    Solution: To fix this error, simply insert the following line in your Dockerfile before “RUN pip install —no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt” to create the requirements.txt file.

    RUN pip freeze > requirements.txt

  2. Use the following line if you’re using a virtual environment.

    pip freeze > requirements.txt

    It asks to first create the requirements file.

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