Missing tar and bzip2 from public.ecr.aws/lambda/nodejs:12 image

[gvasquez95]

I'd suggest these two utils should be included as part of the base image, as during an npm ci execution both were needed to properly install PhantomJS. I'm aware that this might no be a use case for all setups, but module installation is part of the basics steps of setting up a properly running NodeJS environment, so I might not be the only one to face such a scenario.

BTW, the workaround in the Dockerfile is: RUN yum install -y tar bzip2

Some evidence, just after already having install just tar:

> phantomjs-prebuilt@2.1.16 install /var/task/node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt
> node install.js

And this is the original tar related error:

I'm struggling to install basic binaries without this...

Came here to comment the same. I needed to install firefox-104.0.2.tar.bz2 for my selenium project and realized tar was not available.

@gvasquez95 thank you for your solution. I was trying to use apt-get until I came across this thread
