Adding ffmpeg to Railway project

I am working with ffmpeg in my project but I can't figure out how to make it work here. I receive this error:
import ffmpeg
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ffmpeg'

It works on my computer because I've put ffmpeg.exe to the folder with my scripts:
\venv\Scripts

and I don't know how to do the same here

I imported my project from github (and there is no venv folder there)

Railway uses nixpacks to build your app, to get nixpacks to install ffmpeg add this nixpacks.toml file to your project -

[phases.setup]
    nixPkgs = ['...', 'ffmpeg']
