We need two things.
-
The engine
quarto
. We just need that page's step-oneCLI
download. It should be a simplecurl
orwget
command on the terminal. Or on MacOS, just a download and one-click installation. If the installation goes right, the executablequarto
should be callable from the terminal. -
Clone this repo. In the terminal,
cd
into the root of this repo. Runquarto preview
. If all goes well, alocalhost:<some_port>
link will pop up, and a browser tab will open. That tab will be "live": i.e. it'd be updated as we make local changes.
In terms of content, book chapter source files are those *.qmd
files. The qmd
syntax is almost identical to markdown
(which itself is pretty close to LaTeX). The qmd
files are converted to html
by quarto
and then served on the website.
