You can run a script  or a more complex parameter to the RUN  Here is an example from a Dockerfile I ve downloaded to look at previously   RUN cd  opt  amp  amp  unzip treeio zip  amp  amp  mv treeio-master treeio  amp  amp        rm -f treeio zip  amp  amp  cd treeio  amp  amp  pip install -r requirements pip   Because of the use of   amp  amp    it will only get to the final  pip install  command if all the previous commands have succeeded   In fact  since every RUN creates a new commit  amp   currently  an AUFS layer  if you have too many commands in the Dockerfile  you will use up the limits  so merging the RUNs  when the file is stable  can be a very useful thing to do
