mamba env create -f environment.yml
mamba activate thesis
# quarto on conda raises error (missing tlmgr), so install it manually.
# manually install quarto and tinytex (e.g., `brew install quarto` on macOS, and then `quarto install tinytex`).

quarto render --profile thesis

The output PDF will be in _book/ folder.

quarto render slides --profile slides
