hey all, I have a simple dockerfile with a base image of `FROM python:3.9` that runs `RUN pip3 install -r requirements.txt` with a file that looks like this:

```pulumi&gt;=3.0.0,&lt;4.0.0
pulumi-aws&gt;=4.0.0,&lt;5.0.0
boto3==1.15.16
botocore==1.18.16```


FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'pulumi'

what are you trying to run inside the container?

Hey! thank you, I am trying to run
```create_pulumi_program```
<https://www.pulumi.com/blog/automation-api-python/>

You need the Pulumi CLI installed as well

so I should add that to the requirements.txt?

or is the only way to do that by using a pulumi image in the dockerfile?

<@U048KTDB5J4> If you use `pulumi/python` as your image, you do not need to install Pulumi.

would the image need the PULUMI_ACCESS_TOKEN value during the docker build?

I think if the backend is S3, you'd set your container with the right IAM perms.

<@U02FZC2RE0Y> even with permissions my fargate task still gives me this error: `error: PULUMI_ACCESS_TOKEN must be set for login during non-interactive CLI sessions`
