[gnuastro-commits] master 76726cf: Book: minor edit in section on dependencies in package managers

branch: master
commit 76726cf2fbe6d23c70812d5bf184beda7139afe8

    Book: minor edit in section on dependencies in package managers
    
    Antonio Diaz Diaz reported a typo in the part that the packaging of
    Gnuastro in package managers was discussed (an 'is' was mistakenly written
    as and 'if').
    
    With this commit, that has been fixed. But after reading though the section
    once, I thought it is better to include a link to Repology to actually show
    this to the readers: show them how different package managers have
    different versions! Because of this, I added this discussion after the
    first point (on the differing, and low, versions in some systems).

install the mandatory and optional dependencies.
 If your package manager isn't included in the list below, please send us the 
respective command, so we add it.

Debian or Homebrew).
 
 As discussed above, we recommend installing the @emph{mandatory} dependencies
