The serverless framework is a command line tool, written in Node.js. It allows you to create and mange your Serverless Functions and Serverless Containers resources from the command line.

1. Check that you have node and npm installed on your local machine:

   $ node -v
   $ npm -v
   Copy code

   Both commands should return the installed version of each tool.

   Note:

   The serverless framework works with Node.js 6.x or later.

2. Install the serverless framework using npm:

   npm install -g serverless
   Copy code

3. Check if the installation was sucessful:

   serverless -v 
   Copy code

   The command above returns the version of the serverless framework installed on your computer.

4. Create a new Python 3 project, called myProject:

   serverless create --template-url https://github.com/scaleway/serverless-scaleway-functions/tree/master/examples/python3 --path myProject
   Copy code

5. Enter the newly created project:

   cd myProject
   Copy code

   Your project contains the following files:

   • handler.py - Your function code, written in Python3
   • package.json - The list of packages for your function
   • serverless.yml - Your serverless configuration

6. Install the Serverless Functions plugin in your project:

   serverless plugin install -n serverless-scaleway-functions
