Pre-requisites for building VDT-based applications

This article describes the pre-requisites for building applications based on the VidiCore Development Kit, for both Linux and MacOS. It does not cover the actual application building, which is covered elsewhere. The same instructions can also be found in the VDT github repo https://github.com/vidispine/vdt-vue-django-template , which you also need access to when building VDT applications. Read here on how to get access to VidiCore Development Kit.
