+A `requirements.txt` can be generated by running `pip freeze > requirements.txt`
+in the virtual environment your pelican site is developed in.
 
 ## Environment variables
 
   - `GH_PAGES_BRANCH` (optional): override the default `gh-pages` deployment branch
   - `PELICAN_CONFIG_FILE` (optional): override the default `pelicanconf.py` config file
