Hello,
The App Platform does not come with root access. You could modify your requirements.txt file locally and then commit it to your GitHub project so that it would be available during the app build and deploy process.
If there are specific packages that you need to install, you could use a Dockerfile as described here:

Let me know if you have any questions!
Best,
Bobby
As mentioned by @biliev, the App Platform does not allow root login as it’s considered a managed platform. As such people do not have root access at any level.
