+## Building
+
+To build this, you need [`pnpm`](https://pnpm.io/). It is recommended to use a node version manager
+([nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) for mac/linux, [nvm-windows](https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows) for windows),
+to install `nodejs` and `npm` (at the time of writing, this would be node `v22`), and use `npm` to install `pnpm`:
+
+```sh
+npm install --global pnpm
+```
+
+After this, you can install the dependencies (make sure your current working directory is `web`):
+
+```sh
+pnpm install
+```
+
+Then, assuming your data is in `public/data`, build the website:
+
+```sh
+pnpm run build
+```
