# Rasterio is a C extension, need to apt-get gcc and g++.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install curl gcc g++

# Download miniconda.
curl "http://mapbox-cloudless-testing.s3.amazonaws.com/landsat8/setup/Miniconda-3.7.0-Linux-x86_64.sh" -o "Miniconda-3.7.0-Linux-x86_64.sh"
chmod +x Miniconda-3.7.0-Linux-x86_64.sh
./Miniconda-3.7.0-Linux-x86_64.sh -b

# Put conda on path.
export PATH=/root/miniconda/bin/:$PATH

# Make and activate a new conda env.
# Get GDAL from the PinguCarsti binstar channel.
conda create -n myenv -c PinguCarsti pip gdal gdal-data
source activate myenv

# VERY IMPORTANT to set this environmental variable!
export GDAL_DATA=`gdal-config --datadir`

# Build and install rasterio, linking to the stuff from the conda GDAL package.
GDAL_CONFIG=`which gdal-config` pip install rasterio

# Test.
