Community Cloud

I am trying to install an npm package to use in my streamlit app (hosted on community cloud). However, the npm command is failing.

  1. npm package I want to install & use as a part of my app: GitHub - softwaretechnik-berlin/dbml-renderer
  2. My streamlit app: kathalyst.streamlit.app
  3. Error Message:

Hi @anushkasingh98

Have you installed nodejs, which you can do by specifying it in the packages.txt file (this will allow the OS to install it)

@dataprofessor
Yes, I have specified nodejs in the packages.txt file. After having nodejs installed, I am getting the following error when I run the line : subprocess.run([“npm”, “install”, “-g”, “@softwaretechnik/dbml-renderer”])
