Cloning a repo that has a pipenv (pipfile):

  1. Run "git clone 'project'" https://gyazo.com/7770b1d1ab124a9534df8be454023a56

  2. Run "pipenv install" (This will look into the pipfile and install all the dependencies and library's). NOTE: This creates the virtual environment on your local computer. https://gyazo.com/97f691090d29a45cb60c27cf38614434

  3. Run "pipenv shell" to launch the virtual environment. Launching the environment will point all the library's to the virtual environment. If you do not launch the venv then you will get missing import errors. NOTE: you must always launch the environment when you restart your computer. https://gyazo.com/f5ae6907dbbf114a985b0fd7fa493d00
