Can I install linux libraries to Azure Functions which sku is Flex Consumption plan?

Question

Hi.

I tried to deploy function source with .deployment via functions core tool command.

But ahh, it seemed to be ignored.

I think, we can't install linux libraries to flex consumption plan functions, right?

thanks

Hello Shigeru Nakagaki,

Thank you for reaching out. You are correct it is not possible to install Linux system libraries (such as via apt-get) on Azure Functions using the Flex Consumption plan, as it operates in a sandboxed environment without root access.

Azure Functions hosting options.

Workarounds:

• Use Premium Plan with a custom container – full control to install libraries.
