Installation platform requirements

To execute the installation process, you need access to a Linux environment with the following components installed.
Note: When installing on a KVM-based hypervisor, the platform must use Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Rocky Linux. The installation steps of the installation platform requirements are for the platform running the edaadm and playground steps, not creating the VMs on KVM (this happens on the RHEL/Rocky hypervisor directly).
