# 1. Download pyenv code.
git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv.git ~/.pyenv
# 2. Install dependencies(https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/wiki/Common-build-problems).
sudo apt-get install -y make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev \
libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev \
xz-utils tk-dev
# 3. Add environment variables.
echo 'export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"' >> ~/.zshenv
echo 'export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshenv
echo -e 'if command -v pyenv 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then\n  eval "$(pyenv init -)"\nfi' >> ~/.zshenv
# 4. Install Python instance in a new terminal window.
pyenv install 2.7.13

cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1.0 ~/.pyenv/versions/2.7.13/lib/
cd ~/.pyenv/versions/2.7.13/lib/
mv libpython2.7.a libpython2.7.a.backup
mv libpython2.7.so.1.0 libpython2.7.a

Now you should be able to run “rake generate preview” to build nd preview the final result.
