Migrating a Project in a Virtual Environment to Python

There are often situations when you need to move the original project to a new folder, for example, to a new server. Let's figure out how to do this with a virtual environment in Python.

First, let's create a new folder new_project_ven, into which we'll move the project from project_ven:

Next, we copy all installed packages from the virtual environment project_ven. This is done using the following command:

To the left of the word freeze, there is an angle bracket and the name of the file that will contain information about the packages. In our case, such a file is called req.txt, but its name can be anything. After executing the command, a new file will appear in the project folder:

Next, you need to copy the folder project1, which already contains two files: main.py and req.txt. Then paste it into the folder new_project_venv:

Now we exit the current virtual environment:

Then in the console you need to go to the folder new_project_venv/project1. After that, you should create a new virtual environment for the new project:

Next, we activate our new environment:

After that, you will see the name of the new virtual environment in the console:

Now we need to restore the packages from the original project. To do this, use the following command:

After successful installation of the library, the following message will be displayed:
