Install packages in the "Requirements.txt"

Some of our users know how to add Python dependencies (or other dependencies alike) to their project by adding them to their "requirements.txt" file .

But in order to get the packages actually installed then it requires them to restart the workspace. Restarting the workspace can be very cumbersome and sometimes can take a while with specially with on-prem version of Domino.

This can be resolved by using a pip command . Just simply add this to your dockerfile. 

pip install -r /path/to/requirements.txt

But it would be advisable to add the needed packages via the dockerfile for good measure.
