Suggesting some dependencies to list that may not be included in bare-bones installation.

I am attempting to install reposcanner on a very basic linux machine. This is what I have had to add so far. I am guessing Python 3.7 because the latest error I ran into seems to indicate 3.7 or better. I have 3.6.8 because it is a RHEL 7 derivative.

After I issued this PR, I installed a newer version of Python and I just now got all tests passing with no warnings. I had to reinstall my python installed by source 7 times to do this. I don't know if we should go back and list all the yum installs that were necessary or not. Some of this will not be necessary depending on the machine you start with, and the syntax for installing and the package names vary a little. I am not sure what is the best approach documentation-wise. I am thinking though the best way to deploy reposcanner will probably be through a container and possibly E4S so that people don't need to deal with any software installs. I suspect it would help adoption quite a bit.

Here is everything I needed to do in my bare-bones virtual machine:

sudo yum install gcc-c++ git openssl-devel libffi-devel sqlite-devel bzip2-devel ncurses-devel xz-devel graphviz

I think that is all.
