2. Activate the virtualenv with . bin/activate

3. Install pip-tools using: pip install pip-tools

4. Run pip-compile --output-file requirements.txt requirements.in && pip install -r requirements.txt. This generates the requirements.txt file from the requirements.in file. If this doesn't work, try upgrading setuptools.

5. If not already installed, install Homebrew: https://brew.sh/.
