Installing packages to a Cloudflare Pages enviornment

I'm setting up and Tauri and Svelte website on Cloudflare pages and I've run into a issue installing packages using

apt

apt

apt

apt as a root user. I'm getting

The "no new privileges" flag is set, which prevents sudo from running as root.

You cant install packages with apt in Pages build system, you don't have root access

Would you happen to know an alternative for installing these packages?

I frequently also use Github Workflows and with that I'm able to use root and install packages, I know they're not the same though.

Most of them should exist already but not all, do you get errors without those?

But like, no I don't really think there is a way.. you can always use a GitHub Action to deploy instead if Pages build system isn't working for your usecase

So I would build in Github Actions and then Cloudflare Pages would deploy that?

right, I think I've used that before actually

Thanks for your help

I've seen plenty of projects have success with it and the experience is not bad at all if youre already familiar with github actions

the handling of branch aliases all just works automaticallly same as Pages builds

Erisa•6/2/24, 11:19 PM

if you dont specify branchbranch anyway (then it infers from the current checkout)

I've already had a whole ordeal trying to get my build command on Cloudflare Pages to work, look how long it is now,

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh -s -- -y &&    . "$HOME/.cargo/env" && curl -fsSL https://get.pnpm.io/install.sh | sh -s -- -y &&  pnpm install && pnpm tauri build

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh -s -- -y &&    . "$HOME/.cargo/env" && curl -fsSL https://get.pnpm.io/install.sh | sh -s -- -y &&  pnpm install && pnpm tauri build

thanks

pnpm should already be installed, not sure about rust

LimesKeyOP•6/2/24, 11:21 PM

ah I think the issue was the pnpm version was too outdated

Erisa•6/2/24, 11:21 PM

you can set PNPM_VERSIONPNPM_VERSION to change it

LimesKeyOP•6/2/24, 11:21 PM

good to know
