ffmpeg | ffprobe EACCES error on nodejs production server

In my express.js server I use ffmpeg for files, on local server everything works fine but on railway when I send file I'm getting error
'spawn /app/node_modules/@ffprobe-installer/linux-x64/ffprobe EACCES',
'spawn /app/node_modules/@ffprobe-installer/linux-x64/ffprobe EACCES',
this is what error I get I've ffmpeg paths in express server written
import ffmpeg from "fluent-ffmpeg";
import ffprobe from "@ffprobe-installer/ffprobe";
import { path } from "@ffmpeg-installer/ffmpeg";

ffmpeg.setFfmpegPath(path);
ffmpeg.setFfprobePath(ffprobe.path);
import ffmpeg from "fluent-ffmpeg";
import ffprobe from "@ffprobe-installer/ffprobe";
import { path } from "@ffmpeg-installer/ffmpeg";

ffmpeg.setFfmpegPath(path);
ffmpeg.setFfprobePath(ffprobe.path);
like that but still getting issue, on stackoverflow i found solution to give ffprobe persmission
chmod +x /app/node_modules/@ffprobe-installer/linux-x64/ffprobe
chmod +x /app/node_modules/@ffprobe-installer/linux-x64/ffprobe
is it possible to do on railway?

dont use any kind of npm package that installs ffmpeg/ffprobe install ffmpeg natively with a nixpacks.toml file
[phases.setup]
nixPkgs = ['...', 'ffmpeg']
[phases.setup]
nixPkgs = ['...', 'ffmpeg']
(the ffmpeg nix package does come with ffprobe too)

this means removing all npm packages that install ffmpeg/ffprobe and only using the npm package that provides an api for ffmpeg

I'll have to remove all these packages as well right?
import ffmpeg from "fluent-ffmpeg";
import ffprobe from "@ffprobe-installer/ffprobe";
import { path } from "@ffmpeg-installer/ffmpeg";
import ffmpeg from "fluent-ffmpeg";
import ffprobe from "@ffprobe-installer/ffprobe";
import { path } from "@ffmpeg-installer/ffmpeg";

fluent-ffmpeg is fine, it is just an api wrapper, the installers need to go when using fluent-ffmpeg in your code, do not specify a path for the ffmpeg or ffprobe binary's, that package should be able to find them itself
