 ### Linux builds on Docker
 
-Linux wheels are built in the [`manylinux1` docker images](https://github.com/pypa/manylinux) to provide binary compatible wheels on linux, according to [PEP 513](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0513/). Because of this, when building with `cibuildwheel` on Linux, a few things should be taken into account:

Because of this, when building with `cibuildwheel` on Linux, a few things should be taken into account:
 - Progams and libraries cannot be installed on the Travis CI Ubuntu host with `apt-get`, but can be installed inside of the Docker image using `yum` or manually. The same goes for environment variables that are potentially needed to customize the wheel building. `cibuildwheel` supports this by providing the `CIBW_ENVIRONMENT` and `CIBW_BEFORE_BUILD` options to setup the build environment inside the running Docker image. See [below](#options) for details on these options.
-- The project directory is mounted in the running Docker instance as `/project`, the output directory for the wheels as `/output`. In general, this handled transparently by `cibuildwheel`. For a more finegrained level of control however, the root of the host file system is mounted as `/host`, allowing for example to access shared files, caches, etc. on the host file system.
