How to use with venv

To keep your local system clean, it might be helpful to store all Python dependencies in one folder. Python provides a virtual environment package which can be used to accomplish this task.

python3 -m venv migration-env
source migration-env/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Then start the migration script python3 migrate.py.
