👋 sorry for the un solicited PR.

We noticed the used of GDAL could be a blocker (because of the installation process). I took the liberty of replacing the call to the gdal_translate library by pure python rasterio calls. Rasterio python library is shipped with GDAL withing its wheels so it makes installation easier.

FYI: I've only been able to test the TiffDownloader.download_area_tiff locally

If you want to go ahead with this PR I could update the Readme.
