Install Requirements

1. WHAT IS requirements.txt?

The requirements.txt file is a list of all the Python packages Aurora needs to work. Instead of installing everything one by one, you can install them all at once.

2. MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN THE PROJECT FOLDER

Before installing requirements, confirm you are inside the Aurora folder in the terminal.

• Example: “cd C:\Bots\aurora”

3. RUN THE INSTALL COMMAND

In terminal, type: “pip install -r requirements.txt”

• This tells Python to install every package listed in the file.

• This could take a minute or two - you should see lines of code running.

  • THIS IS NORMAL ☻

4. WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

If it installs successfully, you should not see major red error messages at the end. SO - YAY

If you DO get a package error:

• double-check Python installed correctly

• make sure internet is working

• make sure you are in the correct folder location (I am guilty of this!)

Quick Recap - what did we do?

• Opened the Aurora folder

• Installed all required Python packages

• Prepared the bot to run
