Conda fails to install OpenAstronomy Packages

[ruarimac]

Hi, I've used OpenAstronomy in the past and I've never had issues but while setting up a new machine I've been unable to install healpy via OpenAstronomy using Conda. The error message is below:

` healpy: 1.9.1-np111py27_0 openastronomy

Proceed ([y]/n)? y

I tried a few other OpenAstronomy packages (cfitsio, aplpy) which I've used in the past and I get the same error. I don't think it's a Conda issue as it installs other packages. I also can't install healpy manually or with pip as I get an error like this:

https://github.com/healpy/healpy/issues/367

AplPy on the other hand did install with pip but I really need healpy. Any help would be greatly appreciated, sorry if this is a dumb mistake.

There are apparently some issues right now with Amazon S3...one of their server banks is down or something. Can you please try again in a few hours and let us know if it works then?

Just tried it this morning as suggested and it seems to be working now. Thanks mwcraig.

no problem! Glad it wasn't anything I had to fix :grinning:
