While running Docker build the pip dependencies installation failed - docker

Question

I was trying to create a docker image for a sentiment analysis application. I have the dependencies as follows:
flask
transformers
optimum[onnxruntime]
gunicorn
I have the dockerfile as below:
#Using the base image with python
FROM python:3.8-alpine3.15
#Set our working directory as app
WORKDIR /app
#Installing python dependencies
RUN pip install --upgrade pip
#COPY requirements.txt /
RUN pip install flask transformers optimum[onnxruntime] gunicorn
# Copy the models directory and app.py files
COPY ["./models", "app.py", "./"]
#Exposing the port 5000 from the container
EXPOSE 5000
#Starting the python application
ENTRYPOINT ["gunicorn", "--bind=127.0.0.1:5000", "app:app"]
But I get some errors while executing the following command:
sudo docker build -t sentiment-analysis:v001 .
The error as follows:

The command '/bin/sh -c pip install flask transformers optimum[onnxruntime] gunicorn' returned a non-zero code: 1
What could be the problem? Thank you in advance.
I have run my application using gunicorn with no error. Then I tried to create a docker image to deploy the application. But while creating the docker image I got the error mentioned in the post. I was expecting a docker image that could be deployed.
