how to install apt-get packages on composer2 of GCP

I'm planning to use Composer2 as my airflow runtime. To use my airflow script, I need to install chrome binary on the machine, But I don't know how to execute 'apt-get install' command on my composer2 environment.

As I saw the document, it seems that Composer2 only supports the airflow commands, not linux commands.

Please let me know how to do it

I think the only way to install binary on Cloud Composer machines is a connection on the GKE cluster where Composer is installed.

Then you can install on the GKE nodes the chrome binary.

From the GKE console, you can access to the cluster and connect into with the following command from your schell (you have to be authenticated with an authorized identity) :

gcloud container clusters get-credentials instance-name-gke --region europe-west1 --project your-project
