When I try to deploy my app using huggingface, I get an error for fast.ai module not found:

```auto
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "app.py", line 2, in <module>
    from fastai.collab import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fastai'

```

How can I install fast.ai into my Huggingface environment?

It seems you figured this out! For context for others, the dependency needs to be added to `requirements.txt` as in [requirements.txt · awesomepotato2016/recommender at main](https://huggingface.co/spaces/awesomepotato2016/recommender/blob/main/requirements.txt).
