How should I move my completed Django Project in a Virtual Environment?

I started learning django a few days back and started a project, by luck the project made is good and I'm thinking to deploy it. However I didn't initiate it in virtual environment. have made a virtual environment now and want to move project to that. I want to know how can I do that ? I have created requirements.txt whoever it has included all the irrelevant library names. How can I get rid of them and have only that are required for the project.

Django is completely unrelated to the environment you run it on.

The environment represents which python version are you using (2,3...) and the libraries installed.

To answer your question, the only thing you need to do is run your manage.py commands from the python executable in the new virtual environment. Of course install all of the necessary libraries in the new environment if you haven't already did so.

It might be a problem if you created a python3 environment while the one you created was in python2, but at that point it's a code portability issue.
