I didn’t even know this was a thing but would love to try this process out.

I was lucky enough to learn film development in high school, though now a days I don’t have access to a darkroom.

Which is unfortunate because many of my family members are photographers and used to have darkrooms in their homes.

You don't need a darkroom for film development. A changing bag and some light proof tanks allow for this. To develop 54 or larger large format film (for contact printing) you need light proof trays, or you can use a 54 adapter for a jobo tank.

I guess you then have to have some registration holes in the paper + film to align them correctly if you want to check paper exposure during development, but my understanding is that the process is slow enough that you again aren't in a darkroom, you are exposing the paper with sunlight, and then fixing can be in a tray.
