## How-to use custom dbt tips

### Allows "chained" dbt transformations

Since every transformation leave in his own Docker container, at this moment I can't rely on packages installed using `dbt deps` for the next transformations.
According to the dbt documentation, I can configure the [packages folder](https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/project-configs/packages-install-path) outside of the container:

```yaml
# dbt_project.yml
packages-install-path: '../dbt_packages'
```

> If I want to chain **dbt deps** and **dbt run**, I may use **[dbt build](https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/commands/build)** instead, which is not equivalent to the two previous commands, but will remove the need to alter the configuration of dbt.
