Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - brotli Can anyone please help me

Because , for heroku there is nothing mentioned and I want to install it on heroku only

Essentially you need to install brotli package at Heroku. I don’t know how to do it, but probably there’s some build-pack allowing you to do that, or you can build your own. In my case (Ubuntu 18.04@Github Actions) I’ve fixed it with sudo apt-get -yqq install brotli.
