Add 3rd party library to Google Cloud Virtual Machine

Question

I want to setup a Virtual Machine on Google Cloud Platform and use a third party library. I've followed the instruction here to set everything up in python, but I'm not sure how to proceed. I would like to add this library. What would be the right way to do this?

Answer 1

After some troubleshooting this was the solution that worked:

Dockerfile

FROM gcr.io/google_appengine/python-compat

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl gcc python-dev g++ libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev
ADD requirements.txt /app/
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

ADD . /app

requirements.txt
