• You can install poetry using brew install poetry if you are running on MacOS. If you are using a different OS, please see the installation instructions for your OS.
• poetry install that will create a virtual python environment and install the necessary dependencies.
• To run the local version of mkdocs and to preview changes in real-time, run poetry run mkdocs serve.
• Make your changes, preferably on a branch for large updates.
• Create a Github pull request with your changes to be reviewed and merged.
