I created local instance on Linux computer. I can access the server with [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080/). How can I get all the shared data libraries otherwise available with [usegalaxy.org](http://usegalaxy.org)?

That is generally not a good idea since there are many terabytes of data in those libraries on [usegalaxy.org](http://usegalaxy.org). Could you please describe what is your intention with that data? Maybe I can help more then.
