 To execute wordcount locally using the direct runner, execute the following from the wordcount_rust directory within the same virtual environment:
 
 ```bash
-python wordcount.py --runner DirectRunner --input * --output counts.txt

 To execute wordcount using the Dataflow runner, the tarball of the PyO3 Rust package must be provided to GCP. This is done by building the tarball then providing it as an `extra_package` argument. The tarball can be built using the following command from the wordcount_rust directory:

 This places the tarball in `./word_processing/dist` as `word_processing-0.1.0.tar.gz`. Job submission to Dataflow from the `wordcount_rust` directory then looks like the following:
 
 ```bash
-python wordcount.py --runner DataflowRunner --input gs://apache-beam-samples/shakespeare/*.txt --output gs://<YOUR_BUCKET>/wordcount_rust/counts.txt --project <YOUR_PROJECT> --region <YOUR_REGION> --extra_package ./word_processing/dist/word_processing-0.1.0.tar.gz

 ```
 
 The job will then execute on Dataflow, installing the Rust package during worker setup. Wordcount will then execute and produce a counts.txt file in the specified output bucket.
