You would need the authoring kit which is included with the purchase of Savage Worlds.
You would need some basic programming skills. You don't need to be a professional programmer.
You would need an advanced text editor. I use UltraEdit, mainly because I opted for unlimited upgrades back when the combined cost of that plus the program was around $40.
Notepad++ is a free option, but I've never used it, so I can't comment on how well it would work for Hero Lab files.
Designing a game system from scratch is not something that is going to be quick and easy. It involves a lot of time, a lot of work, and if you're just starting out, a lot of learning and A LOT OF FRUSTRATION.
I'm not trying to discourage you. I'm just setting expectations.
