unable to pip freeze Pycharm venv

I have a simple project in Pycharm that I am working to load up on a VPS. I would like to utilize pip freeze to build a requirements.txt file and install required packages on the VPS.

Unfortunately, when i activate the venv associated with my project, the output of pip freeze appears to be all of the packages in my default python3 installation, and not my project.

I uploaded a screenshot showing Python Interpreter settings and terminal pip freeze output.

In this case, the venv should only contain pip, selenium, setuptools, urllib3. However, no matter how I try to activate the venv (Pycharm terminal, os x terminal) and deactivate, the output of pip freeze is always the long list of packages that seems to be what I have installed to the normal Python3 environment.

I'm wondering if Pycharm is somehow "overmanaging" my packages or if I;m just going wrong somewhere.

Thank you!

Seems my pip was still the global pip such that when I ran which pip I got /usr/local/bin/pip3. By using the venv pip I was able to get the packages for that project only.

path/to/venv/bin/pip3 freeze

also the following worked.

python3 -m pip freeze
