All how-tos assume that the developer has three things:
- A functional developer environment, including an IDE/compiler for their language of choice

- A running indy pool.
Instructions for #2 (building and installing libindy) can be found here. Note that we recommend building the SDK to eliminate versioning problems; pre-built binaries may be slightly stale.
