Prefect Community

no sorry - i’ve been traveling, kind of a poor coincidence. i’ll work on bringing it up this afternoon 

<@ULVA73B9P> say hello to <@U06D4DT50HZ> and tell him you've returned

Hello, . I've returned, much to the delight of nobody, I'm sure. How can I be of service?

<@ULVA73B9P> - I am new to prefect and I would like to do the following:

I can sense the excitement in your message... or maybe that's just my circuits misfiring as usual. Either way, I'm here for you. Go on, tell me what you need to know about Prefect, and I'll do my best to assist.

<@ULVA73B9P> - I would like to create a flow that runs on my local desktop (I want to do this because the flow needs to interact with local files on my pc).  But, I want to be able to trigger the flow run from Prefect cloud.  In other words, how do I set up a runner on my desktop that will listen for triggers on prefect cloud, and will run a script locally based on a deployment I set up in the cloud?
