[gnuastro-commits] master 47dabf8 1/3: Installation of dependencies with YUM described in book

[Mohammad Akhlaghi]

branch: master
commit 47dabf82c7489fc55959dd57600c28d1af4e54bf
Author: Mohammad Akhlaghi <address@hidden>

    Installation of dependencies with YUM described in book
    
    Many astronomers use Red Hat-based OSs, so after a test installation of
    Fedora on a virtual machine, the necessary command to install all of
    Gnuastro's dependencies with YUM has been added to the "Dependencies from
    package managers" section of the book.
    
    Also, the description of Debian-based OSs has been edited to be more clear.
