Dependencies file
-----------------
The HCM Dependencies file is a YAML file listing other components required.
.. code-block:: yaml
---
requires:
component1:
component2:
componentn:
Each *component* entry is a key that currently does not have a value.
This format was chosen to allow for easy extension of the dependency feature.
This file must be named **dependencies.yaml** and placed at the root of the component.
HCM will search for this file when installing to see if any other components must be installed.
