+[![DOI]()]()
+
+This is an [R](https://www.r-project.org/)-based and [Quarto](https://quarto.org/)-powered repository containing source code for the presentation developed and used for the [nutriverse](https://nutriverse.io) project launch on the 27th of February 2026.
+
+## Reproducibility
+
+### System dependencies
+
+This project requires the following system dependencies:
+
+-   `Quarto`
+
+This project uses the [`Quarto`](https://quarto.org/) open-source scientific and technical publishing system.
+Instructions on how to download and install `quarto` can be found [here](https://quarto.org/docs/get-started/).
+
+-   `TeX`
+
+This project requires `TeX` for rendering PDF.
+It is recommended to use [`TinyTex`](https://yihui.org/tinytex/) for this purpose.
+Quarto provides a utility to install `TinyTex` via the following command on terminal:
+
+``` bash
+quarto install tinytex
+```
+
+-   `Google Chrome` or `Chromium`
+
+This project requires either `Google Chrome` or `Chromium` browser to be able to convert HTML files (used for the slide presentations) into PDF.
+Instructions on how to download and install `Google Chrome` can be found [here](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95346?hl=en-GB&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop).
+Instructions on how to download and install `Chromium` can be found [here](https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/download-chromium/).
+
+### R version
+
+This project is built using `R 4.5.2`.
+To manage R versions, it is recommended to use [`rig`](https://github.com/r-lib/rig) - an R installation manager - to be able to install multiple versions of R and switch between them as needed.
+
+### R package dependencies
+
+This project uses the `{renv}` framework to record R package dependencies and versions.
+Packages and versions used are recorded in `renv.lock` and code used to manage dependencies is in the `renv` directory and other files in the root project directory.
+
+On starting an R session in the working directory of this repository, first run
+
+``` R
+renv::restore()
+```
+
+to install R package dependencies.
+This is only done once when the project is being initiated for the first time by a user.
