Hi, I’m deploying a streamlit app for the first time. Up until now, I have developed the app locally and everything was working fine. To deploy the app I pushed the python code, including the requirements.txt file for the python dependencies I used in the project. However, upon deployment the dependencies in the `requirements.txt` file are not being installed. I doublechecked if I have misspelled the file, placed it in a bad location (it is placed in the root of my repo where also streamlit’s `app.py` resides). To check whether this is an issue with a specific dependency, I listed the installed python packages using ```auto import streamlit as st import os result = os.popen('pip list').read() st.code(result, language=None) ``` I got: ![Screenshot 2023-09-18 at 10.14.36](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/streamlit/original/3X/1/c/1c00a1dc8a2c63ee2a95ec945496247b1eeb1307.jpeg) As you can see, none of the packages in `requirements.txt` (see below) are insalled ```auto pypdf==3.16.1 PyYAML==6.0 openai ``` When I try to install the requirements.txt locally, everything also runs fine. Am I missing something here? Thanks for any responses in advance. ---

Thank you for the prompt response. The repo was previously private (not sure if that can affect the deployment in this case). ---

Maybe the packages are stored under a different user or path that pip does not know. Streamlit itself is not listed, but the app obviously works! What happens if you add for example `import openai` to the code, does this work? > [@soyrubio](#): > > Am I missing something here? The requirements look fine to me, I also tried them briefly in a docker container. This should theoretically also work on streamlit cloud. Therefore, the question again: What is the specific error or error message? ---

Sorry for not specifying the exact error message. The specific error message is: `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'openai'` However, openai is listed in requirements.txt. ---

- I would add `streamlit` to the requirements as well. - Have you tried a “reboot” of the app? - Which python version are you using locally? - Which python version do you have selected on streamlit cloud? ---

Rebooting the app solved my issue. I must have changed the requirements after first loading the app. Thanks for your help. ---
