# How to reference a seed from a different dbt project?
Code for the blog post: [How to refernce a seed from a different dbt project?](https://www.startdataengineering.com/post/ref-seed-from-diff-dbt-project/)
## Setup & Prerequisites
### Prerequisites
1. [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
Clone and cd into this repo:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/josephmachado/import_dbt.git
cd import_dbt
```
## Importing packages
We will be downloading the package `project_1` into the dbt project `project_2`.
```bash
cd project_2
# remove virtual env files and duckd db files from prior runs
rm -rf myenv
rm -rf *.duckdb
# set up venv
python -m venv myenv
source myenv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
source myenv/bin/activate
# Clean out old dbt files
dbt clean
# download dnt package dependencies
dbt deps
dbt seed
dbt run
```
## Verifying seed access from different dbt project
Ensure that we have accessed the seed data from `project_1` in our `project_2` dbt project.
```sql
duckdb dbt.duckdb
select * from stg_package_seed; -- This is a model in project_2 using seed from project_1
```
