hmm if im understanding your situation which I might not be instead of this ```RUN mkdir prefect amp amp chown R random program planner prefect``` would you want this ```RUN mkdir p home random program planner prefect amp amp chown R random program planner home random program planner prefect``` assuming your `random program planner` user is actually ` home random program planner`
