Create required directories. #17

Trying to install fails on DigitalOcean VPSs because the assumed directories don't exist. This creates them before using them.

On which distro did you not have a /root? I've tried this on about a dozen distros and every single one had it.

I ran into this problem on the DigitalOcean Ubuntu15.10 image. I don't think the problem is that the distribution doesn't have it but it appears that this script is run before the first build of the system (just suspicion, I haven't actually confirmed) but this patch fixes the issue. It is very reproducible giving an error "file doesn't exist" on theln call.
