Prefect Installation: Part I

Prefect has two editions — open source and Prefect cloud.

To get going with Prefect open source, one can install Prefect from pip installer.

It may be advised to create a separate conda environment or virtual environment.

To use virtual environment,

virtualenv {{name-of-the-virtual-environment}}

To activate the virtual environment

source {{name-of-the-virtual-environment}}/bin/activate

One may choose to install prefect within that virtual environment,

pip install -U prefect

To start the prefect server and access the UI,
