Using remotes before remotes is installed

[epijim]

Assumption this is why we have this error: https://github.com/epijim/episheet/actions/runs/7357960789/job/20030432815

Thanks for the fix!

Slowly finding more :) issues, will move to draft sorry @cicdguy

so far:

• remotes was called before installed
• we get API rate limiting on devtools::install_github. I see we are passing through a github pat, but maybe repo tokens aren't that great. switched to install from git to bypass the github API
• now ran into devtools being missing- which is weird, will see why

Turns out that pak is more efficient and will eventually replace remotes. What do you think about swapping out remotes with pak?
