Implementation: Steps taken

1. ran renv::init(). This encountered some warnings but I ignored them.
2. deleted my R user library (~/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.3) to ensure that project library was being picked up.

Had some issues at first with rendering the site due to caches -- these retain some pointers to the library used to render them. The key is to tell quarto to ignore the cache

quarto render --cache-refresh

P.S.: The following might not be necessary but I still ran it before trying the quarto option

#!/usr/bin/env bash

find . -type d -name "*_files" -exec rm -rf {} \;
find . -type d -name "*_cache" -exec rm -rf {} \;

First time use after cloning: Simply run renv::restore().

Installing packages: install.package works just fine. Apparently it gets hijacked by renv.

Next step is to tell private447 to use the same renv. The way to do this is probably this
