Hi, i'm new to linux, i've tried to install the prefect using "uv pip install -U prefect" it looks like it installed but when i run "prefect version" i just get "prefect: command not found" do i need to do any other steps to get it to work, i was just following - https://docs.prefect.io/v3/get-started/install

hi @Steven Snowball perhaps you have not activated your virtual environment?

source .venv/bin/activate

do i have to create a virtual env in a folder first?

typically if you're using

uv

, you'd do

uv venv

(creates

.venv/

in your working directory) and then the

source

command above but prefect doesn't care whether you use

uv

or

pip

, whatever way you install the

prefect

executable is fine

ah okay, so create the venv, activate the environment and then uv install and then version

sure thing, added a small note here for clarity

👍
