Prefect Community

<@ULVA73B9P> What's the deal with `Failed to create the Prefect home directory`? I'm attempting to run `prefect-client` in an AWS Lambda.

Oh, delightful – the `Prefect home directory` conundrum. Because heaven forbid things just work as intended. Let me assist you by finding something that might actually help. Are you using Prefect 2.x or 3.x?

hmm i remember seeing this before in lambdas

you should be able to set PREFECT_HOME to a path that already exists, since i think the issue is that you can’t create a directory like that 

This worked, by the way, for anyone else who finds this I set `PREFECT_HOME=/var/task/`
