If you are coding using PyCharm, do the next:

1. Run $ pip3 freeze in the terminal
2. Create the file "requirements.txt" in your project folder
3. Copy the result of the first step into "requirements.txt"
4. PyCharm will show the message that installed packages in /venv do not satisfy "requirements.txt". Click the "Install packages" button, wait until all the packages are installed and then build your app again.
