Asked by Marco Zanella
I have a Flask app that uses pyodbc for reading and writing data from and to a SQL Server. The requirements.txt contains the pyodbc, but I can’t install the required unixodbc driver in the app platform. Is there a way to install it? Thanks

Hey @marcozanella,
As of the time being, in order to install some custom packages, you could use a Dockerfile to deploy your app along with all of its dependencies.
You can follow the steps on how to do that here:

Hope that helps!
