cannot install astro-gala; should be just gala?

Thanks for making these tutorials! I am learning how to analyze Gaia data and use ADQL, and the notebooks have been very helpful.

Running the notebooks through colab, when I try to run the line !pip install astro-gala it returns the error below:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

However, !pip install galadoes work. I think the install statements just need to be changed from astro-gala to gala instead.

Thanks for letting me know about these issues. I will look into them as soon as I can, but in the meantime, you might want to switch to the Foundations of Astronomical Data Science, a curriculum based on the material in this repo and maintained by The Carpentries:
