+# Install/Build the Book
+
+The repo is set up to use [mise](https://mise.jdx.dev) to install required tools. Once `mise` is installed, changing into this directory should install the correct tools with the right versions.
+
+After that, running `pdm install` should install the dependencies. Then `doit build_jb` will build the book.
