+
+`verdepcheck` can be used within a docker container to consistently check the version dependencies of an R package.
+This vignette demonstrates how to run the [`r-verdepcheck-action`](https://github.com/insightsengineering/r-verdepcheck-action) Github workflow locally with a minimal setup.
+
+1. Download the docker image
+1. Run the docker container
+1. Open RStudio in the browser
+1. Run the code below by changing the `github_id` to the repository you want to check
+
+It assumes that you have `docker` installed on your machine.
+
+_Note_: that you can skip the container setup and run the code below in your local R session.
+
+### Pull and run the docker image
+
+The docker image used in this vignette is available on the Github Container Registry (ghcr.io) and is being used by the Insights Engineering R packages (such as `teal` and `tern`).
+
+```bash
+docker pull ghcr.io/insightsengineering/rstudio:latest
+docker run --rm -p 8787:8787 -e PASSWORD=test -v ./:/workspace/project ghcr.io/insightsengineering/rstudio
+```
+
+### Open the RStudio in the browser
+
+Navigate to [http://localhost:8787](http://localhost:8788) and login with the username `rstudio` and password `test`.
+
+### Clean `pkgcache` cache before repeated runs
+
+In order to avoid using cached downloads from the previous run, it is recommend to clean the `pkgcache` directory.
+
+```bash
+# This command should be run inside the container
+rm -rf /home/rstudio/.cache/R/pkgcache
+```
+
+_note_: The location of the pkgcache directory may vary depending on the operation system.
+Use the R command `pkgcache::pkg_cache_summary()` to find its location in your system.
+
+### Run the code below inside the container
+
+```{r, eval=FALSE}
