Did a quick cleanup of the Linux install docs to remove some outdated advice and to include some other things that have come up.

  • Adds bison to install list
  • Removes note about uninstalling sdl2 as I don't think this is an issue anymore
  • Removes instructions about mpv PPA install as I think normal package managers should work fine for this now

- `sudo apt-get install xmlstarlet`
- `sudo apt-get install mkvtoolnix`
- `sudo apt-get install mediaconch`
- `sudo apt-get install mpv`

Does the official Homebrew formula not work? I am asking, because we use Homebrew on Debian and Ubuntu, but with our own formula.

It's honestly been a while since I tested the official brew formula. Since one of the main headaches for installing vrecord on linux seems to come from brew issues, my preference has tended to be to get as much installed via non-brew package managers as possible, but it is very conceivable that the brew formula would work just fine.

Thank you for the answer! Since we have to install some dependencies via apt-get anyway, it doesn't really matter.
