[AstroPy] a question about python3-astropy installation

[Evert Rol]

  Hi Maryam,

Firstly, try updating pip; it may use an old database (not sure if it uses one online or locally):
 
  > pip3 update

You could also explicitly try and state the version:

> pip3 install astropy==1.0.1

(note: double =-sign)

If you want the most recent development version from github, you could try:

> pip3 install git+https://github.com/astropy/astropy


I notice that you mention "python3-astropy"; that sounds more like an Ubuntu package than something pip will use (to pip, it's just called "astropy"); if you're instead trying to install that Ubuntu package, then it's more likely it's using an older version of astropy (essentially the one that was active when the packages for your Ubuntu version were finalized).


Cheers,

  Evert
