# Hello World Python Example

Make sure `serverless` is installed. [See installation guide](../../../guide/installation.md).

## 1. Deploy

`serverless deploy` or `sls deploy`. `sls` is shorthand for the serverless CLI command

## 2. Invoke deployed function

`serverless invoke --function helloWorld` or `serverless invoke -f helloWorld`

`-f` is shorthand for `--function`

In your terminal window you should see the response from AWS Lambda

```bash
{
  "message": "Hello World"
}
```

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