installing Basemap on Centos without root privileges

[bruhwiler]

I ran into a few technical issues, when trying to install Basemap on a Centos Linux box where I did not have root privileges.

This is a very specific case, so I don't know how helpful it will be, but in any case, I documented the instructions in a public 'gist' here: https://gist.github.com/bruhwiler/5108aecce94da0532c9f275f3b0b4d9d

The step-by-step instructions are a bit overly detailed, because I did this for a student who was not familiar with Linux, nor with the JupyterLab UI.
