I’m having a problem with the package gunicorn on the app platform while it’s present in my requirements.txt file.
bash: gunicorn: command not found
Is there a way I can add the gunicorn binary to $PATH or add a symlink somehow? I am blocked by this, so would really appreciate your help! Thank you in advance.

Hello @vibhorfall
What you can do is to setup a virtual enviroment and then install gunicorn and other perquisites using pip. Then you can push the code to GitHub and deploy the application to the App Platform.

Hey @vibhorfall,
You have to first use pip for the installation of gunicorn:
- pip install Flask gunicorn
