# Hello World Python Example

Make sure `serverless` is installed. 

## 1. Create a service
`serverless create --template spotinst-python --path serviceName`  `serviceName` is going to be a new directory there the python template will be loaded. Once the download is complete change into that directory

## 2. Deploy
`serverless deploy`  

## 3. Invoke deployed function
`serverless invoke --function hello` 

In your terminal window you should see the response

```bash
{
Deploy functions:
	hello: created
Service Information
	service: spotinst-python
	functions:
  		hello
}
```

Congrats you have just deployed and ran your Hello World function!
