Installation
pip install -U prefectuv add prefectRunning it
prefect server startIf you don't write code
I want to automate my data workflows using Python. Help me create a simple data pipeline using the flow and task decorators from the Prefect library. Explain with sample codes how I can integrate error management, scheduling and monitoring features, and how I can turn a Python file into a production-level workflow.
Repository: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect. Follow the official instructions in the README of this repository for setup and execution.
Before starting, check which OS we are on and if the necessary tools (e.g., Python, Node.js, Git, Docker) are installed. Install any missing ones step-by-step according to this system.
Create a new, empty folder to work in. Do not touch any files outside this folder and do not delete anything. Tell me what you are going to do in one sentence before running each command.
Tell me what I should see on the screen at the end of each step. If an error occurs, I will paste the error message to you exactly as it is, and we will fix it together.
