heroku-buildpack-apt

Add support for apt-based dependencies during both compile and runtime.

Added ability to also specify custom repositories through :repo: in Aptfile (see example below).

Usage

This buildpack is not meant to be used on its own, and instead should be in used in combination with Heroku's multiple buildpack support.

Include a list of apt package names to be installed in a file named Aptfile.

To find out what packages are available, see: https://packages.ubuntu.com

See the Heroku Stacks documention for which Ubuntu LTS version is used by each Heroku stack.

Example

Command-line

To use the latest stable version:

heroku buildpacks:add --index 1 heroku-community/apt

To use the edge version (i.e. the code in this repo):

heroku buildpacks:add --index 1 https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-apt

Aptfile

# you can list packages
libexample-dev

# or include links to specific .deb files
https://downloads.example.com/example.deb

# or add custom apt repos (only required if using packages outside of the standard Ubuntu APT repositories)
:repo:deb https://apt.example.com/ example-distro main
