Build the Kit Vector Container image
1. Before building the container, verify that you have all the necessary files in the current directory:
```
ls -la
```
  You should see the following required files if you followed along with the documentation:
2. Build your enhanced Kit container with Vector integration:
```
docker build -t byoo_kit_vector:latest .
```
  If you followed along the steps, the required files for the Dockerfile should have been created.
3. Verify the docker image:
```
docker image ls
```
  This concludes the docker image creation process.
  
  Follow Deploying to Kit Apps to push your container to NGC.
