Setting up development environment issue

[rhymenaucerous]

Summary

The following link has a guide on setting up a development environment for msfconsole/metasploit. There were a couple points where additional information was required for my setup (Maybe these are recent dependency changes, but it could also be my local requirements).

https://docs.metasploit.com/docs/development/get-started/setting-up-a-metasploit-development-environment.html

The dependency installation command was:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y git autoconf build-essential libpcap-dev libpq-dev zlib1g-dev libsqlite3-dev

but I also required libyaml-dev

Additionally, when it came to ruby dependency management, I had permission issues due to the installation folder. I had to run the following command (it could be any folder with the right permissions) to properly install ruby dependencies via bundle install:

bundle config path ~/Documents

Motivation

Why should we document this and who will benefit from it?

Steps to resolve this issue

These commands could simply be added to the linked page.
