Sudo permissons to install packages in Azure App Service

LuisR 6

Hello, my team is building a feature that requires a package called "pdftotext". It doesn't exist in out App Service so we wanted to install it ourselves. We learned that there is a limitation and that App Services does not grant "Sudo" permission to users for obvious reasons. Is there a way for Microsoft to execute the installation or can we be given temporary access?

Thank you.

Hi @LuisR

Thanks for the question. Apologies for the delay in response. WE are checking internally with the engineering team to see if there is a workaround to install the "pdftotext" package and will get back to you once we hear back from them.

What type of app service are you currently using (functions, webapp, static webapp, etc)

Hello,
No worries. I understand you and your team are busy. It’s a web app.

Hi I am facing the same issue. This link is the solution https://github.com/marcbachmann/node-html-pdf/issues/437#issuecomment-582843009
But I dont have the permissions to do the same in Azure App services

While running the command in azure through ssh I got the following error

npm ERR! The operation was rejected by your operating system.
npm ERR! It is likely you do not have the permissions to access this file as the current user
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! If you believe this might be a permissions issue, please double-check the
npm ERR! permissions of the file and its containing directories, or try running
npm ERR! the command again as root/Administrator.
