h2. Install python requirements into the pyvenv
59
60 13 Nico Schottelius
Pyvenv has been installed to *~app/pyvenv* for you.

Required packages for the hosting like PostgreSQL support and uwsgi support have already been placed.
62
63
You need to use pyvenv found in *~app/pyvenv*, as uwsgi loads this pyvenv before loading your app.
64
65
To install your requirements use:
66 11 Nico Schottelius
67
<pre>
68
. ~/pyvenv/bin/activate
69
pip install ...

</pre>
