Install python package via github repo

[hidden knot]

Hi @next narwhal. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

It looks like you're trying to install a Python package from a GitHub repository in your Trigger.dev project, but you're encountering an error because Git is not installed in the deployment image.

To solve this issue, you need to use the aptGet build extension to install Git in your deployment image. This extension allows you to install system packages that your Python scripts might need.

Here's how you can modify your trigger.config.ts file:

import { defineConfig } from "@trigger.dev/sdk/v3";
import { pythonExtension } from "@trigger.dev/python/extension";
import { aptGet } from "@trigger.dev/build/extensions/core";

export default defineConfig({
  project: "<your-project-ref>",
  // Your other config settings...
  build: {
    extensions: [
      // Add the aptGet extension to install git
      aptGet({ packages: ["git"] }),
      pythonExtension({
        requirementsFile: "./requirements.txt",
        devPythonBinaryPath: `venv/bin/python`,
        scripts: ["src/python/**/*.py"],
      }),
    ],
  },
});

The aptGet extension will install Git in your deployment image, allowing you to install Python packages from GitHub repositories in your requirements.txt file.

You can learn more about the aptGet extension in the apt-get documentation.

After making this change, your deployment should be able to successfully install packages from Git repositories.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
