You need to add a requirements.txt file which contains all of the modules required to run your application.

You can do pip freeze > requirements.txt to freeze all of your modules into a file. I would only recommend doing this if you're using a virtualenv because otherwise it will add ALL of your modules.

Anyways, just determine exactly what modules your application requires and create a file called requirements.txt and put it in your application directory.

The syntax for a requirements file is as follows:

package name == version #
package name == version #
package name == version #

Note: It is optional to specify a certain version number.

Here is an example requirements file (taken from this tutorial):

Flask==0.11
Jinja2==2.8
gunicorn==19.6.0

Don't forget to commit your requirements.txt
