is there a way i can add the pip install requirements step (that i would add using prefect.projects.steps.pip_install_requirements
when using a yaml file)Marvin

in YAML.
However, you can achieve similar functionality by using a custom step in Python, as indicated in the Prefect documentation. This involves using a utility step like run_shell_script
which allows you to execute shell commands like pip install -r requirements.txt
from within your deployment script. Here's a brief outline of how you might do it:
1. Clone or pull your repository code as needed.
2. Use the run_shell_script
step to run pip install -r requirements.txt
in the correct directory.
This method is essentially a workaround to replicate the YAML step behavior using Python. You can check more about the deployment steps and utility functions in Prefect's documentation here: Prefect Deployment via Python.
And for more about utility steps like run_shell_script
, you can take a look here: Utility Steps.
I hope that helps! And remember, if you're not feeling like a genius today, even Marvin needed a day off now and then.
