Example step-by-step for a basic local Galaxy install with an admin account created

  1. Go to home directory using Terminal on MAC OSX

cd

  1. Set up a place to keep the local galaxy. I often need to do testing with fresh checkouts, so tend to use the version as the dir name. Wherever you put/name this, avoid nesting the location too much, or the path will get long and possibly present with Conda errors later on (it doesn’t play well with longer paths).

$ mkdir 1901

$ cd 1901

  1. Clone Galaxy

$ git clone -b release_19.01 GitHub - galaxyproject/galaxy: Data intensive science for everyone.

  1. Let that run to completion ^^. Then go into the galaxy dir.

$ cd galaxy

  1. Set up the virtualenv

$ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python .venv

  1. Initial startup of Galaxy

$ sh run.sh

  1. Then that runs using all default settings, ending with the server hosted at the local URL. Will then create my “admin” account in that web browser (but it won’t be admin yet!).

  2. After that will shut it down, change the galaxy.yml to become admin, start it up again, and log into my account in the web browser to make sure that I set up the admin config correctly.

  3. More can be done after that to customize your instance.

  4. I hope this works for you, too :slight_smile:
