Do you have a pulumi project name? I’m not sure if that error is referencing a pulumi project or the DO projeect

<@U0220CGL4P5> Thanks! I don't even know how to create a Pulumi project name, I just ripped off the AWS/EKS Pulmi example, which doesn't explain that parameter at all.

maybe I need to create a Pulumi account and attach to it somehow??

Well all had to walk before we could run! :sweat_smile:

Do you have a Pulumi.yaml file from where you’re running this

<@U0220CGL4P5> I'm kind of getting the big picture here. I just brew installed pulumi, now I'll sign up, then I'll connect the pulumi cli to my cloud-pulumi account, and I am off and running????

<@U02A0JR69LL> generally yes - you’ll need to create a Pulumi project as well

I know nothing about DO specifically, but the AWS getting started guide will help with the basic steps:

<@U02A0JR69LL> you can usually avoid this error by creating your project with the Pulumi new command
