Hello,

-Possible for python version mismatch.
-Specify a supported version of Python in Netlify
-LaTeX / Pandoc / system dependencies missing

-Node.js version changes

-Your local environment is not matching Netlify’s runtime

It looks like I wasn’t allowed to include the link in the above question (or it got removed?) - this is the GH issue I’m referring to: [BUG]: Netlify build fails on Ubuntu Noble 24.04 · Issue #4307 · the-turing-way/the-turing-way · GitHub

The issue was resolved here: Ubuntu noble builds by JimMadge · Pull Request #4363 · the-turing-way/the-turing-way · GitHub

Quote from above:

Using the noble image, pip packages are installed to a directory that is not on $PATH. This is possibly because Netlify assumes the project is an NPM build as no Python dependencies file was found.
Netlify expects Python dependencies in a file called requirements.txt, located at the build root.
This PR renames the requirements files to be consistent with the pip-tools defaults and in line with what Netlify expects, so the noble builds pass.
