I am unable to install packages I keep getting errors

I run pip install -r requiremtnets.txt and when I try to run the site it keeps telling me that this is missing and that is missing. Why is this happening?

What does this mean >> Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable why am i seeing this when trying to run pip install -r requirements.txt???

Make sure that you are installing into the version of Python that your web app is configured to run. See https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/InstallingNewModules/

You are getting that message because the default place where Python would install packages is not writeable because it is shared, so pip users the per-user space to install the package.
