-## Install packages
-
-If you want to install new packages, you can do so by adding the dependencies to:
-* `requirements.in/base.txt` for packages that are needed in both *development* **and** *production*
-* `requirements.in/dev.txt` for packages that are only needed in *development*
-* `requirements.in/prod.txt` for packages that are only needed in *production*
-
-Then, run the following `pip-compile` commands to generate the `requirements.txt` files:
-
-```bash
-# Install all packages for development
-docker compose run --rm server pip-compile --output-file=requirements/dev.txt requirements.in/dev.txt
-
-# Install all packages for production
-docker compose run --rm server pip-compile --output-file=requirements/prod.txt requirements.in/prod.txt
-```
-
-Lastly, rebuild the server image:
-
-```bash
-docker compose build server
-
-# or, if you want to run the server immediately
-docker compose up server --build -d
-```
