Welcome to the new blog of IPESE! This blog has been created to share knowledge and research. This blog uses Quarto, an open-source scientific and technical publishing system.

Dependencies

For creating posts and serve the blog locally you need to:

Make sure you have R installed

    R --version

if not, install it with:

    brew install R

Make sure you have quarto installed

    quarto --v

if not, install it via the quarto website

Install markdown packages for R

    RScript -e "install.packages( c('rmarkdown','reticulate'))"

terra package is installed automatically but is sometimes tricky to install, you can try with:

    RScript -e "install.packages('terra')"

if there is an error you can try the following commands in order:

    brew install pkg-config && brew install gdal
    RScript -e "install.packages(c("raster", "Rcpp"))"
    RScript -e "remotes::install_github("rspatial/terra")"

Make sure your R can find your python installation

    RScript -e "library(reticulate); reticulate::py_config()"

You can easily correct this with:

    RScript -e "library(reticulate); reticulate::install_python()"

install the python package bs4 that is used in a post-render script

    python -m pip install bs4

Serving blog

As soon as everything is installed you can go to the blog repository:

    cd ipese-blog

and serve the website with:
