# Prism - Stand Alone binary

This binary is the Apache Beam Go Prism Runner as a stand alone binary.
See the [Prism README](https://github.com/apache/beam/tree/master/sdks/go/pkg/beam/runners/prism) for
the current state of Prism as a runner.

# Usage

Ensure you have a recent version of Go: https://go.dev/doc/install

Until Beam v2.49.0 is released:

`go install "github.com/apache/beam/sdks/v2/go/cmd/prism@master"`

After that release

`go install "github.com/apache/beam/sdks/v2/go/cmd/prism@latest"`

Then calling `prism` on the command line will start up a JobManagement server on port 8073, and a web UI on 8074. Submit portable Beam jobs to the runner in Loopback mode (`--environment_type=LOOPBACK`) so the runner can provided bundles to the SDK process.

For the Go SDK, when in your pipeline's main binary directory, this can look like:

```
go run *.go --runner=universal --endpoint=localhost:8073 --environment_type=LOOPBACK
```
