Hi everyone, I’m trying to install Galaxy local on a server with Ubuntu 18.04.4 and python 3.10.2 . Following the steps on the Get Galaxy page, I successfully cloned the git repository. Now the problem is that when I try to run galaxy for the first time using `sh run.sh` (or sudo `sh run.sh`) I get the following error: ```auto Creating Python virtual environment for Galaxy: .venv using Python: python3 To avoid this, use the --no-create-venv flag or set $GALAXY_VIRTUAL_ENV to an existing environment before starting Galaxy.

Did you mean: 'get_default_scheme'? ``` How can I fix it? Thank you for the help ---

seems a python version problem check the issue at [https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8273#issuecomment-870399892](https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8273#issuecomment-870399892) If you want to install galaxy properly on a local server I suggest you to follow the installation through Ansible [Galaxy Installation with Ansible](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/topics/admin/tutorials/ansible-galaxy/tutorial.html) . Alternatively, Galaxy is also available as Docker see [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/bgruening/galaxy-stable/) ---

Thank you, I’m trying with ansible but I#M having problems with the requirements.yml file: Using it as on the document page results in the following error: ```auto ERROR! Failed to parse the requirements yml at '/home/andreaf/galaxy/requirements.yml' with the following error: mapping values are not allowed in this context in "b'/home/andreaf/galaxy/requirements.yml'", line 4, column 6 ``` Then removing the spaces after “:” yamllint runs fine, but then when using the command ` ansible-galaxy install -p roles -r requirements.yml` I et the following error: ```auto ERROR! Unexpected Exception, this is probably a bug: 'str' object has no attribute 'keys' ``` That’s my yml file content: ```auto --- ++ b/requirements.yml @@ -0,0 +1,14 @@ - src:galaxyproject.galaxy version:0.9.16 - src:galaxyproject.nginx version:0.7.0 - src:galaxyproject.postgresql version:1.0.3 - src:natefoo.postgresql_objects version:1.1 - src:geerlingguy.pip version:2.0.0 - src:uchida.miniconda version:0.3.0 - src:usegalaxy_eu.certbot version:0.1.5 ``` ---

I think you have some problem in the requirement.yml ```auto ++ b/requirements.yml @@ -0,0 +1,14 @@ ``` they are not part of the file, check the Ansible documentation at [Installing content — Ansible Documentation](https://galaxy.ansible.com/docs/using/installing.html) for more information about requirement files. ---

Ok, was just following the guide in the first link and they say to put that code in the requirements.yml file so I don’t get what’s wrong… Should I use something like ```auto --- roles: - src: galaxyproject.galaxy version: 0.9.16 - src: galaxyproject.nginx version: 0.7.0 - src: galaxyproject.postgresql version: 1.0.3 - src: natefoo.postgresql_objects version: 1.1 - src: geerlingguy.pip version: 2.0.0 - src: uchida.miniconda version: 0.3.0 - src: usegalaxy_eu.certbot version: 0.1.5 ```
