MarketplaceKit uses popular, well documented packages without too much overhead to simplify a developers/designers life. Therefore, the following choices were made:
MarketplaceKit is easy to customize, change the design and supports multiple languages.
Although MarketplaceKit has been tested on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. It should work with any OS that satisfies the above requirements.

Developers should also have knowledge of Laravel, Bootstrap and Twig for extending/building on top of MarketplaceKit.
