# Requirements

All requirements for flexmeasures-flexmeasures-weather are specified in this directory.
We separate by use case:

- app: All requirements for running the plugin
- test: Additional requirements used for running automated tests 
- dev: Additional requirements used for developers (this includes testing)

Also note the following distinction:


## .in files

Here, we describe the requirements. We give the name of a requirement or even a range (e.g. `>=1.0.`).

## .txt files

These files are not to be edited by hand. They are created by `pip-compile` (or `make freeze-deps`).

Each requirement is pinned to a specific version in these files. The great benefit is reproducibility across environments (local dev as well as staging or production).
