To deploy a flow using
flow.from_source()
in a local environment, you can follow this example. This uses the Prefect 3.x API and assumes that you're deploying a flow from a local source, not a remote one. Here's a basic script to demonstrate how you can achieve this:
Copy code
python
from prefect import flow

@flow
def my_flow():
    print("Hello, Prefect!")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Load the flow from a local source
    flow_from_source = my_flow.from_source(source="path/to/your/flow.py")
    
    # Deploy the flow
    flow_from_source.deploy(name="my-local-deployment")
### Key Points: -
from_source
: This method is used to load the flow from a specified source. In this case, it's a local file path. -
deploy
: Once the flow is loaded, you can deploy it by specifying the deployment name. ### Links for Further Reference: - Prefect Flows Documentation - Prefect Deployment Guide If you're integrating this with PyO3 or have specific configurations, make sure the path and execution environment align with your setup.

@Marvin why current prefect is not found inside
/opt/prefect

The absence of Prefect within
/opt/prefect
could be due to several reasons related to installation paths or configurations. Here are some possibilities: 1. Installation Path: Prefect is typically installed as a Python package, and the default installation path depends on your Python environment setup. It might not necessarily be
/opt/prefect
unless explicitly configured that way. 2. Virtual Environments: If you're using a virtual environment, Prefect will be installed in the
site-packages
directory of that environment, not in a global directory like
/opt/prefect
. 3. Docker or Containerized Environments: If you're running Prefect within a container, the path might be different or isolated within the container's file system. 4. Custom Installation: If Prefect was installed with a custom script or configuration, the path may vary. It's essential to verify where the package was installed by checking your Python environment's
site-packages
. 5. Configuration Issues: Ensure that your environment variables or configuration files aren't pointing to a non-existent directory. For more details on installation and troubleshooting, you can refer to these resources: - Prefect Installation Guide - Prefect Troubleshooting Guide If none of these apply, you might want to check for any specific configurations or scripts that might have altered the default installation behavior.
