No python virtualenv is available

Hi @shauryajauhari

I have a pyenv environment using python 3.6.0 (local version for this directory: galaxy). The galaxy also sets up it’s own virtual environment inside ./.venv. I am not sure if the conflicting virtual environments are causing a roadblock here.

This is probably the issue. Galaxy works best under Python 3.5 – and there were some prior issues with 3.6.

Could you try 1) removing both environments, 2) creating a new virtualenv .venv under /galaxy, then 3) executing sh run.sh.

You may be able to – or need to – skip step 2.

Related Q&A that still applies. It is the most basic way to start up that tends to work for most. The most current Galaxy release is 20.05, so swap that in. The rest is the same.

The most current Galaxy release can always be found here: https://docs.galaxyproject.org/en/master/releases/index.html Example step-by-step for a basic local Galaxy install with an admin account created Go to home directory using Terminal on MAC OSX cd 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…

Thanks!
