I was facing the issue <ERROR: Could not open requirements file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'requirements.txt'> on Windows after I used the command:

$ python3 -m pip install --user -r requirements.txt

@UjjwalMahar so the issue was solved without having to pass absolute path. Got it. good first issue 👏

Now for your own practice, can you share the solution you found out here?

[UjjwalMahar]

yes sure

You can resolve it by following the steps :

--> It can happen if you are not in the directory where you have cloned your project .

1. Navigate to the directory where you have cloned your project .

Example - I had made OMR Checker Directory to clone the project ,to navigate to the directory use cd

2. To look contents inside your directory use ls

3. Now navigate to this folder using cd OMRChecker

4. Now use command: python3 -m pip install --user -r requirements.txt

Okay let's have you make a change in the readme.
You can go through the project readme and tell where you can update the readme so that the above issue can be avoided by others
