Managing dependencies

Most Flou projects will need to install 3rd party Python packages to use in their Networks of Agents. As the orchestration engine runs inside Docker, Flou automatically handles the installation of the dependencies.

Adding dependencies to a Flou project

1. Create a requirements.txt in the same folder as your app.py
2. Add any package you wish to install
3. Restart the Flou Engine flou compose restart engine
4. Upon initialization the engine installs any new dependencies present in requirements.txt
