Build your first agent in just a few minutes with [Rasa Copilot](https://hello.rasa.com/?utm_source=docs&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=docs_cta).

On this page

The Rasa Pro Docker image is available on [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/rasa/rasa-pro/tags) as `rasa/rasa-pro`.

note

In the commands below, replace `RASAVERSION` with your desired version of Rasa Pro. To find the latest version of Rasa Pro, see the [Changelog](/content/docs/reference/changelogs/rasa-pro-changelog/index.html).

To pull the image, run:

```bash
docker pull rasa/rasa-pro:RASAVERSION
```

## Optional Dependencies (Extras)

Rasa Pro supports optional dependencies through "extras":

- **`nlu`**: Dependencies required for NLU components
- **`channels`**: Dependencies required for channel connectors
- **`full`**: Complete set of all optional dependencies

By default, the Rasa Pro Docker image already contains the `nlu` and `channels` dependencies.

### Extending the Docker Image

To extend the Docker image with optional dependencies that are not already included in the default image, create a custom Dockerfile:

```dockerfile
# Extend the official Rasa Pro image
FROM rasa/rasa-pro:RASAVERSION

# Install all optional dependencies
RUN pip install rasa[full]

# Alternatively, install individual optional packages rather than all optional dependencies comprised in `full`
RUN pip install rasa[spacy]
```

Build and run your custom image:

```bash
# Build the custom image
docker build -t my-custom-rasa:latest .

# Run the custom image
docker run -v ./:/app \
            -e RASA_LICENSE=${RASA_LICENSE} \
            -p 5005:5005 \
            my-custom-rasa:latest \
            run
```

## Licensing

As explained in [Licensing](/content/docs/pro/installation/licensing/index.html), at runtime you must provide the license key in the environment variable `RASA_LICENSE`.

After you defined the environment variable on your system, you can pass it into the docker container via the `-e` parameter, for example:

```bash
# execute `rasa init` via docker
docker run -v ./:/app \
            -e RASA_LICENSE=${RASA_LICENSE} \
            rasa/rasa-pro:RASAVERSION \
            init --no-prompt --template tutorial
```
