Nicolas Dechesne af6f5d821d dev-manual: remove 'dev-manual' from filenames
All filenames duplicate the 'manual name', which is not needed, and
make all references longer than they should. Rename all files to be as
consise as possible, and fix all references

Preparing to Use Toaster
************************
This chapter describes how you need to prepare your system in order to
use Toaster.
Setting Up the Basic System Requirements
========================================
Before you can use Toaster, you need to first set up your build system
to run the Yocto Project. To do this, follow the instructions in the
":ref:`dev-manual/start:preparing the build host`" section of
the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual. For Ubuntu/Debian, you might
also need to do an additional install of pip3. ::
$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip
Establishing Toaster System Dependencies
========================================
Toaster requires extra Python dependencies in order to run. A Toaster
requirements file named ``toaster-requirements.txt`` defines the Python
dependencies. The requirements file is located in the ``bitbake``
directory, which is located in the root directory of the
:term:`Source Directory` (e.g.
``poky/bitbake/toaster-requirements.txt``). The dependencies appear in a
``pip``, install-compatible format.
Install Toaster Packages
------------------------
You need to install the packages that Toaster requires. Use this
command::
$ pip3 install --user -r bitbake/toaster-requirements.txt
The previous command installs the necessary Toaster modules into a local
python 3 cache in your ``$HOME`` directory. The caches is actually
located in ``$HOME/.local``. To see what packages have been installed
into your ``$HOME`` directory, do the following::
$ pip3 list installed --local
If you need to remove something, the following works::
$ pip3 uninstall PackageNameToUninstall
