I am working on windows 10 and encountered an error while executing pip install rasterio in anaconda prompt.
(base) C:\Users\skywalker>pip install rasterio

Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

ERROR: A GDAL API version must be specified. Provide a path to gdal-config using a GDAL_CONFIG environment variable or use a GDAL_VERSION environment variable.

To install rasterio, simply download both binaries for your system (rasterio and GDAL) and run something like this from the downloads folder, adjusting for your Python version. You can also install rasterio with conda using Anaconda's conda-forge channel.
First, rasterio depends on gdal and if you've ever installed gdal for python (on Windows) you know it must be installed from a wheel file or compiled from source code. Second, rasterio must also be installed from a wheel file or compiled from source (see documentation here).
I solved this issue by following these steps:
pip install -U pip
pip install GDAL-1.11.2-cp27-none-win32.whl
pip install rasterio-0.24.0-cp27-none-win32.whl
