Added missing system requiremnt and pip upgrade before install
When installing on CentOS7 I wans't able to follow README instructions to
install due to errors. I was missing libsodium in order to compile
python dependencies.

Default version of Python pip is really old and therefore setuptools
upgrade ended with error as well. In order to be able to continue I
needed to upgrade pip as well.
