Answer 1

Heroku needs a requirements.txt file, which helps Heroku know what dependencies need to be installed for your Django project. You can use a tool generate your requirements.txt file.

Run in command line

pip freeze > requirements.txt

which will create a requirements.txt file with all your installed packages, such as Django, django-registration, etc...
