 ## Previewing the pull request

 1) On the PR page, you can find a "details" link under "checks - On PR, build the site and ...". Go there, click on the top link in the left sidebar ("Summary"), and download the generated artifact at the bottom of the page.
 2) Decompress it into a target directory, e.g. `Downloads/tutorials_preview`.
-3) To preview the website, use a program which can serve `http` sites on your local machine. One such option is [the `servr` package](https://github.com/yihui/servr) in R: `& '\C:\Program Files\R\R-4.4.2\bin\Rscript.exe' -e "servr::httd('./tutorials_preview')" -p8887`

 4) Point your browser to http://localhost:8887.
 5) Review the updated website. As a contributor, you can push extra commits to update the PR. As a reviewer, you can accept/refuse/comment the PR.
 
 **Note: for step 3, you can use any other simple HTTP server to serve the current directory, e.g. [Python `http.server`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/http.server.html): `python -m http.server 8887 --bind localhost --directory path/to/tutorials_preview`**

+### Alternative: Locally Building the Site
+
+Alternatively, you can build the entire site locally ([see the README for instructions](https://github.com/inbo/tutorials?tab=readme-ov-file#building-the-site)); the Hugo preview server will update changes on the fly.
+This requires [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/getting-started) to be installed on your computer.
