Setting up Ubuntu development machine for Yocto

The Yocto Project is an open-source collaboration project whose focus is developers of embedded Linux systems. Among other things, the Yocto Project uses a build host based on the OpenEmbedded (OE) project, which uses the BitBake tool, to construct complete Linux images. The BitBake and OE components combine together to form a reference build host, historically known as Poky

Below step mentions the commands required to install necessary packages, so you can compile yocto on Ubuntu.
