I have an error when trying to install the libmysqlclient-dev package together with npm for some reason when installing libmysqlclient-dev it removes npm

Step 10/26 : RUN apt-get install -y libmysqlclient-dev

This is my Dockerfile:

RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y tzdata
RUN apt-get install -y libfontconfig1
RUN apt-get install -y libxrender1
RUN apt-get install -y nodejs
RUN apt-get install -y npm
RUN apt-get install -y yarn
RUN apt-get install -y mysql-client
RUN apt-get install -y libmysqlclient-dev
RUN apt-get install -y shared-mime-info
RUN apt-get clean
RUN rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/*

RUN npm install -g [email protected]
RUN npm install -g yarn

I am working on ruby on rails and I need the libmysqlclient-dev package for the mysql2 gem

How can i fix this?

You will want to read the Dockerfile best practices for the RUN instruction from the Docker docs. Each line in a Dockerfile is an image layer and the state after a RUN instruction is executed command is not always persisted on the next layer.

So the apt-get install -y npm won't affect the build when you run npm install -g ... so you received the error: npm command not found.

Please read the guide and attempt to use this single RUN instruction instead.

RUN apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y tzdata \
    && apt-get install -y libfontconfig1 \
    && apt-get install -y libxrender1 \
    && apt-get install -y nodejs \
    && apt-get install -y npm \
    && apt-get install -y yarn \
    && apt-get install -y mysql-client \
    && apt-get install -y libmysqlclient-dev \
    && apt-get install -y shared-mime-info \
    && apt-get clean \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /tmp/* /var/tmp/* \
    && npm install -g [email protected] \
    npm install -g yarn

using a new node that comes with npm helped for me:

  apt-get -qq update && \
  apt-get -qq --no-install-recommends install curl && \
  curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_17.x | bash - && \
  apt-get -qq --no-install-recommends install \
    openssl \
    nodejs \
    linux-headers-generic \
    tzdata \
    libmysqlclient-dev
