mkvirtualenv bootstrap
pip install -r requirements.txt

Virtualenv is a way to encapsulate the dependencies for a Python project. The mkvirtualenv command is part of virtualenvwrapper, which adds helper utilities to virtualenv.

Your computer may have python 2.x installed, in addition to python 3. In that case, you might need to specify which python interpreter you want to use:

mkvirtualenv -p `which python3` bootstrap

It can also be useful to upgrade pip (and setuptools):

pip install -U pip setuptools
