Hello
We are failling to install the node `node-red-contrib-face-recognition` in a Fargate container running nodered/node-red:3.0.2-16.
It fails even in a clean, created-from scratch, container so no existing dependencies from other nodes.
The error log is as follow.
Could someone help us to uderstand what it means ?
Many thanks

I think that means that it cannot find pixman. Did you see the note about additional stuff that needs to be included for the docker image? [node-red-contrib-face-recognition (node) - Node-RED](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-face-recognition)

Ah...
Indeed I didn't catch all that
Thanks @Colin

So if I run the official docker image in my local Ubuntu, log-in as root and run the additional `apk add ...` command specified in "Official Docker Image" I can successfully install the face-recognition node. 👍
Now I forked the repo for the official docker image and added that command in the `Dockerfile.custom` at the end of the "STAGE BUILD" section like below.
Build run without any error but unfortunately, the same problem occurs startig with `pkg-config not found`
If I log into the container and run the `apt add` command there, everything works fine.
So it looks like the location of my command is not correct
Is there a better place to insert that `apk add` command ?
Thanks
Modified `Dockerfile.custom` (without package `python` as it is already installed in the "Install Build tools" step:
```auto
