Question

How can I deploy a flow from my mac desktop to remote prefect server currently I am running `python3 flow name py` on the server where prefect is installed thanks

The easiest is to install Prefect 2 0 and just run your flow as any Python script Then you can start the UI with ```prefect orion start``` Docs on that For Prefect 1 0 you would need to register a flow docs
