+The default way to build these files are to use the container (instructions above)
+that has all the dependencies sorted out.  If however you'd rather install all
+the dependencies through python's `pip` (or a different python package manager
+like `conda`, `venv` and so on) you can use the `requirements.txt` found in the

+However this may be flaky and/or brittle way to manage this which is why using
+a container is the default mechanism for building these html files.
 
 ```bash
-rake docker:build
+make html
