Installation dependencies?

[pierrepo]

This is more a question than an issue on itself 😄

The installation procedure for notebook-as-pdf is quite straightforward:

python -m pip install notebook-as-pdf
pyppeteer-install

I had a quick look at the files inside the binder repo that are used to build the demo with mybinder:

• notebook-as-pdf is installed through requirements.txt
• and the postBuild script runs pyppeteer-install

However, the apt.txt file contains a list of Ubuntu/Debian libraries. Are they related to the installation of notebook-as-pdf on itself?

Yes, I needed to install the extra packages on the Ubuntu base image that is used by repo2docker. However I haven't spent much time check if this is really the minimal set of extra packages to install or not. If you find something that isn't strictly necessary it would be nice to know/remove it.

https://github.com/pyppeteer/pyppeteer doesn't list any extra dependencies so maybe all of apt.txt can go?

A quick test told me apt.txt is required, at least some of its content.
