Welcome to Prism, the easiest way to create clean, modular data pipelines
using Python!
To get started, navigate to your newly created project "testsd" and try
running the following commands:
> python main.py
> prism run

Consult the documentation here for more information on how to get started.

Happy building!
Done!

Again, the CLI section gives a much more comprehensive overview of how to use the command line to manipulate projects. But, if you're itching to get started and you want to execute this project right away, then navigate to that directory and use prism run:
$ cd my_first_project
$ prism run

🎉 Congratulations! You just ran your first Prism project!
The project itself doesn't do much. It only has one task, and this task simply creates a .txt file in the output folder containing the string Hello, World!.
Here's what the Prism graph looks like:
In the next section, we'll add some complexity and learn about tasks and targets.
