Installation Instructions Slightly Outdated - Suggested Improvements Included

Summary

The page at https://docs.metasploit.com/docs/development/get-started/setting-up-a-metasploit-development-environment.html is somewhat outdated as it does not mention that now to install Ruby from scratch using rbenv you also need to run the following commands:

• sudo apt install libffi-dev
• sudo apt install libyaml-dev

Motivation

Ensure documentation is up to date to help onboard new developers and ensure a smoother on-boarding experience for those who wish to contribute to Metasploit.

Steps to resolve this issue

Update the Linux install steps from

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

To this

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