I just want to ask if we have to create a requirements.txt and adding all the required package details while uploading a web application on a service like render, is it necessary
Hi there,
My understanding is that the requirements.txt file is really just there as a convenient way to list all the dependencies/packages you want to install rather than installing them one-by-one in the build command. With that in mind, I don’t think it’s strictly “necessary,” but I would certainly recommend having one for any project that uses packages.
Hope that helps!
