 # Creating the manifest during deployment
 
-To recap, our deployment failed in the last section because Dagster couldn’t find a dbt manifest file, which it needs to turn dbt models into Dagster assets. This is because we built this file by running `dbt parse` during local development. You ran this manually in Lesson 3 and improved the experience in Lesson 4. However, you'll also need to build your dbt manifest file during deployment, which will require a couple additional steps. We recommend adopting CI/CD to automate this process.

 Building your manifest for your production deployment will be needed for both open source and Dagster+ deployments. In this case, Dagster+’s out-of-the-box `deploy.yml` GitHub Action isn’t aware that you’re also trying to deploy a dbt project with Dagster.

+## Adding a prod target to DbtProject
+
+Next, we need to update the `DbtProject` object in `dagster_university/assets/dbt.py` to specify what profile to target. To optimize the developer experience, let’s use an environment variable to specify the profile to target.
+
+1. In the `.env` file, define an environment variable named `DBT_TARGET` and set it to `dev`:
+
+   ```python
+   DBT_TARGET=dev
+   ```
+
+2. Next, import the `os` module at the top of the `dbt.py` file so the environment variable is accessible:
+
+   ```python
+   import os
+   ```
+
+3. Finally, scroll to the initialization of the DbtProject object, and use the new environment variable to access the profile to target. This should be on or around line 11:
+
+```python
+dbt_project = DbtProject(
+   project_dir=Path(__file__).joinpath("..", "..", "..", "analytics").resolve(),
+   target=os.getenv("DBT_TARGET")
+)
