Hi @Lauren

The advice from @mvdbeek is very good. Unless an advanced admin configuration is needed for some reason, using all defaults can be a simple method to get a single-user local Galaxy instance running.

These instructions in prior Q&A explain the first steps when setting up a local under OSX. You might choose to start over, following the help, to see if that works for you. [Example step-by-step for a basic local Galaxy install with an admin account created](https://help.galaxyproject.org/t/example-step-by-step-for-a-basic-local-galaxy-install-with-an-admin-account-created/1451/2)

The most current version of Galaxy is always listed here: [https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/releases/index.html](https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/releases/index.html)

For even more administrative help, including tutorials and training resources, please see: [Local Galaxy: Basic Question -- Installing more tools](https://help.galaxyproject.org/t/local-galaxy-basic-question-installing-more-tools/3231)
