Any modern Linux PC should be sufficient to run the code samples in the book. The installation instructions are given in each chapter that uses code samples. Basically, it boils down to:

The build environment (compiler, header files, and so on)
NGINX (the most recent version should be fine)
Ruby (best installed from https://rvm.io)
Perl (the default version should be fine)
