How to compile the book?

[BravoBaldo]

I haven't been able to recompile the book for at least a week.
It would be appropriate to indicate which sw to install.
It seems that Quarto is no longer enough.
Furthermore, the .tex files are called even when compiling only the HTML part.

[ 7/51] contents\core\introduction\introduction.qmd
The call
lualatex
failed with error code 1. Output:
This is LuaHBTeX, Version 1.16.0 (TeX Live 2023)

Hi, yea, we have had to upgrade the compiler and use LuaTex, etc., cause of redrawing the images in this so that everything is more self-contained cause when we tried to render images to the PDF, etc., the resolution of the original image was becoming an issue. So, we are trying to streamline everything. Apologies for the headache, we also faced that.

1. You will need R and after you install R you will need to do Rscript install_packages.R.
2. Google Chrome broke Quarto. So you have to download the latest build of Quarto -- https://quarto.org/docs/download/prerelease.html -- you have to get the pre-release as they issued a quick fix.
3. I would recommend just trying to build index.qmd first since it is the simplest after you do the above.

I will try to add a build instruction file.

Hi @BravoBaldo please see https://github.com/harvard-edge/cs249r_book?tab=readme-ov-file#-want-to-build-the-book-locally

I hope these instructions work for you. Let me know.
