Transaction reverting when it hits Require statement in function

Question

I have below contract. I deploy my contract in remix and put 1 ether in value but when I execute enter() function I get an error.

This is the contract:

pragma solidity ^0.4.17;

contract Lottery{
address public manager;
address[] public players;

constructor() public payable{
 manager = msg.sender;   
}

function enter() public payable {
    require(msg.value > 0.01 ether);

    players.push(msg.sender);
}

function random() private view returns(uint){
  return uint(keccak256(block.difficulty, now, players));
}

function pickWinner() public {
    uint index = random() % players.length;
    players[index].transfer(this.balance);
}
}

This is the Error message:

from:0xca3...a733c to:Lottery.enter() 0xb87...69cfa value:0 wei data:0xe97...dcb62 logs:0 hash:0x1a5...811a1

transact to Lottery.enter errored: VM error: revert. revert The transaction has been reverted to the initial state. Note: The constructor should be payable if you send value. Debug the transaction to get more information.

It works just fine here in Remix.

Did you perhaps forget to change the unit in Remix? The default unit is wei - change it to Ether.

EDIT After rereading the original post:

The error message hints that you may be trying to send Ether when deploying the contract. You can't do that - you have to first deploy it and after that call the deployed contract's enter function. So in Remix:

1) Go to "Run" tab

2) Press the red "Deploy" button

3) Change units in top right to 'ether' and input '1' in the box

4) Open the contract in the "Deployed contracts" section. Click the red 'enter' function and check the console. Should succeed.
