Instructions to get the website up and running

We use renv for package management. When running the website for the first time, execute the following from R (at the root of the project with mlba.Rproj):

renv::restore()

To install the python packages, following labs/00_lab/setup.qmd instructions. Alternaitvely, you can install everything via conda env create -f environment.yml from the root of the project.

It prompts whether you would like to activate and install the packages, and you must select the option (1) to do so. The command above installs the packages from the renv.lock file. Then run the following to start the website from the command line/terminal (unless you're using Rstudio, in which can go to Build > Render Website to render everything at once).
