Failed to lock Pipfile.lock!

[cavrevjr]

Im trying to install the env using Python 3.12.6 and pipenv, version 2024.1.0 but keep receiving the error

(venv) c:\python_test_env\ecoomerce\v3\Hot-Food>pipenv install -r requirements.txt Courtesy Notice: Pipenv found itself running within a virtual environment, so it will automatically use that environment, instead of creating its own for any project. You can set PIPENV_IGNORE_VIRTUALENVS=1 to force pipenv to ignore that environment and create its own instead. You can set PIPENV_VERBOSITY=-1 to suppress this warning.
