Hi,  
I am new to galaxy world. I recently install the galaxy 24.0.2.  
After analyzing my metagenomic data with kraken2, I want to use Pavian and Phinch to visualize my data. I could find the tools in the public galaxy. But I can not find it on my local galaxy setup. Itried to install it via tool shed, but no hope.

I found that Pavian shoud be intergrated to galaxy from 2023, but I still cannot find it in my local installation.  
If possible, I need your help to figure it out. I would like to know how to enable or install it (Pavian and Phinch).  
Thank you very much!

Hi @ps2pspgood

Both Pavian and Phinch are what we name **Galaxy Interactive Tools** (GIEs).

Warning that these are non-trivial to configure (not automatically installed via the web browser the same way as a regular tool) but you are welcome to try of course! Find the tutorials for how to install GIEs down in this listing here → [Galaxy Server administration / Tutorial List](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/topics/admin/)

To locate what to install, try a search at the Tool Shed directly → [https://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/](https://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/)

Hope this helps! 🙂
