Ask that stupid question. Today, I decided to contribute to an open source project which is in a flask repository. I haven’t touched python in ages so you can guess my google prompt. “How to install python”.

Fast forward to installing all the required dependencies, which totaled 18, lazy me could not and did not even want to t try installing them one after the other so I asked google another stupid question. “How to install dependencies in flask app”

Scrolling down, I saw a stack overflow answer to the same question asked 13 years ago. The answer: simply use: pip install -r requirements.txt Ran it on my terminal and it installed the 18 dependencies in >5 minutes. My laziness and stupid question saved me probably an hour of installing dependencies.
