the main goal with this book is to create a Jupyter Book with some minimal dependencies that I can run on my Mac and Windows laptop.
I followed this article installed pyenv using installer.
I then created a virtual environment, installed jupyter-book and installed mermaid and altair.
Secondly I'll create an action that will build and deploy these pages to my Github Pages.
This reference has a lot of basic steps, but it seems that it is outdated. The Jupyter Book Documentation Section links to a sample repo as well as documents the github actions needed.
