Asked by ephraim784fb14b13cd7ac613a
I’m using rmagick to do image manipulation, but the requist libraries to work with webp are not availble, is there a ruby compatible webp library preinstalled on the App Platform that I can use or a way to install the required libraries for imageMagick and rmagick. My setup is a github deploy of a rails app

Hi there,
I’ve just checked internally and I believe the native Heroku Ruby build pack we use doesn’t have webp support out of the box.
That being said, you can try running your application using a
Dockerfilebuild which should allow you to install those libraries that you need.For more information on how to set that up, you can follow the steps here:
Hope that this helps!
Best,
Bobby
