Hello!
AFAIK, unless you are using the automation API, you need to run the go code using the `pulumi up` command.

Oh, I see. Thanks! I’ll look into that.

did you execute the command `pulumi new` in order to initialize your Pulumi project ?

I didn’t. I’m trying to do everything just by opening the Go binary, without typing anything into the CLI. I guess executing `pulumi new`  on the CLI goes with `pulumi.Run`

It does, but it sets up the environment to tell pulumi.Run how to connect to the engine that the CLI is running

You need the engine running somehow, either via the CLI or automation api (which just manages the CLI invoke for you)

Works now with automation API. I’m downloading a Pulumi release directly into the project dir and adding it to `PATH` . Looks like Pulumi picks it up from there. :slightly_smiling_face: Thanks, everyone

Yeh it'll just pick up the first thing on path
