[python] How to use requirements.txt to install all dependencies in a python project

I am new to python. Recently I got a project written by python and it requires some installation. I run below command to install but got an error.

# pip install requirements.txt 
Collecting requirements.txt
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement requirements.txt (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for requirements.txt

I searched on google and found this link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28167987/python-pip-trouble-installing-from-requirements-txt but I don't quite understand what the solution in that post.

Below is my requirements.txt file:

# cat requirements.txt 
ordereddict==1.1
argparse==1.2.1
python-dateutil==2.2
matplotlib==1.3.1
nose==1.3.0
numpy==1.8.0
pymongo==3.3.0
psutil>=2.0

Is there a easy way to install all required dependencies in this python project?

EDIT1

Below is the output from pip3 install -r requirements.txt.

# pip3 install -r requirements.txt 
Requirement already satisfied: ordereddict==1.1 in /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages (from -r requirements.txt (line 1))

I have already installed libfreetype6-dev but the pip command still reports missing this dependency.

pip install -r requirements.txt for python 2.x

pip3 install -r requirements.txt for python 3.x (in case multiple versions are installed)

(Taken from my comment)

pip won't handle system level dependencies. You'll have to apt-get install libfreetype6-dev before continuing. (It even says so right in your output. Try skimming over it for such errors next time, usually build outputs are very detailed)

Python 3:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Python 2:

pip install -r requirements.txt

To get all the dependencies for the virtual environment or for the whole system:

pip freeze

To push all the dependencies to the requirements.txt (Linux):

pip freeze > requirements.txt

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
