Hey all! So I'm new to deploying on Railway and I have everythign setup but theres one thing I'm having an issue with. I don't know why the RAILPACK_BUILD_APT_PACKAGES isn't working. I think I'm doing this right but it wont pull the APT package like I hoped.

hey, you might need to directly install the version/libs you need directly in RAILWAY_BUILDER or NIXPACKS depending, or you can just directly use a config file which is railpack.json like stated here
it installs it on runtime as stated in the docs - in your build logs, is it actually installing though? (Installing APT packages . . .) can you drop your error logs?

Needs to be on the service not shared.

Also, extending on this answer, please confirm that you're using Railpack in this case and share both logs from the first deployment and any subsequent deployments.

Are you able to share your railpack.json? It would help people looking at this thread. And thanks monuit for the answer!

You need to use the RAILPACK_DEPLOY_APT_PACKAGES environment variable if you want the apt packages to be available in the deploy and not just the build
