How to find the path of the package installed in the function using the build command
- 0
- Functions

I built the function using python 3.11 runtime. I'm using the pdf2image python-pip package. However this package depends on poppler-utils at os-level.
To achieve this, I'm using the following build command:
apk update && apk add --upgrade poppler-utils && pip install -r requirements.txt
But the issue still persists. pdf2oimage
still not able to find the poppler path

hmmm so the problem is the place where the build happens, isn't the same place as where your code runs.
any chance you can donwload some sort of binary and include that in your code instead of installing via apk?

I need to check the possibility

I tried with binary approach, but now I'm stuck with following error:
OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error

Did you use a binary for alpine? X86 or arm?

python3.11-apline

I'm not sure about x86 or ARM. I'm generating the binary and libs through the docker container running on Apple M1 chip. I will check which arch is the output

apple M1 would be an arm-based CPU

so wherever you deploy would need to also be arm-based

Noted! I will retry tomorrow. Thank you Steven
