Deleted venv folder and now project wont run

[RobertGrzesik]

Question:
I accidentally deleted my venv folder and can’t figure out how to get it back.

This is what I did:

1. Forked a working Repl
2. Deleted a few files, including the venv folder
3. Tried clicking run, but it’s been stuck for a very long time (over an hour and i’ve tried it more than once)
   
   
4. Tried running poetry install, but it’s been stuck for a very long time (over an hour and i’ve tried it more than once)
   
   

How can I get my project running again?

Hi @RobertGrzesik , welcome to the forums!
Since your Python repl was the older version and new one doesn’t have the venv folder, try running this command in the Shell to make your old repl just like the new one.

curl -s https://firepup650.repl.co/raw/minifier | bash -s

I’ve tried this before many times and it’s great. It was made by a trusted Jr. Mod on this forum, @Firepup650.
Hope this helps!

The downside is that it removes all installed packages, so you’ll need to manually install them again.
