You need to run your program with `pulumi up`. The engine starts the program, not the other way round.

im sorry im new to this, im not sure what you mean by running it with pulumi up because when i tried to before nothing responded

Do you have the `pulumi` program installed? Can you run `pulumi version` from your command line?

Ok so in your directory with the pulumi program you should have a Pulumi.yaml file that looks something like:
```name: aws-cs-eks
runtime: dotnet
description: An <http://ASP.NET|ASP.NET> application running a simple container in a EKS Cluster```
(Thats just a random one I grabbed from our examples)

so then running `pulumi up` in that directory should invoke the pulumi engine to run your program and should give you some sort of output even if its just that there's nothing to do.
