I would warmly suggest an EL7 (such as CentOS 7.3) operating system.

You don't need to compile, just have an installed oVirt - the pointers
below should allow you to easily set it up in a virtual machines (on Fedora
25 or CentOS 7.3 for example) and then you can develop ovirt4cli on the
host (that's what I did initially).

Let me know if you face any issues I can help you with with setting up Lago
or ovirt-system-tests on your host.
