+<strong>How to create a requirements.txt file of your python project?</strong>
+
+To get all installed modules or packages is by going to your virtual environment directory
+on the terminal and run the command:
+
+```bash
+pip3 freeze > requirements.txt
+```
+
+Another method, is by installing `pipreqs` package, e.g. `pip3 install pipreqs`
+
+Then, it is as easy as:
+
+```bash
+cd $HOME/project/to/your/python/project
+pipreqs .
+```
+
+As a result a `requirements.txt` file will be created in your python project directory.
