how can i install puppeteer to my application in Railway?
I'm running a Discord bot that needs to use puppeeter to generate images, and puppeeter needs to install some dependencies on the machine in order to work, is there any way to make this run on Railway?

do you have "puppeteer" in your package.json
yes
not the core version?
i have this error
I believe this error occurs as I need to install some dependencies using apt-get as the documentation shows
show me the documentation please

are you deploying with nixpacks or a dockerfile
nixpacks
add this as a nixpacks.toml file to your project
I solved it using Dockerfile to install all dependencies, thanks!
