From the environment (Django_and_Rest-YRrszWnq) run pip freeze > requirements.txt and then copy the requirements.txt file to the new project. Then from inside the new project folder, run pipenv shell this creates a new environment. Then run pip install -r requirements.txt. Now you have a new virtual environment with the exact dependencies as the old environment.
