Problems with becoming an admin

,

Hi all,

I am trying to set up a galaxy locally and become an admin. However, I get the error below when I use the sh run.sh command. Can anyone help me with this? I am completely stuck.

Creating Python virtual environment for Galaxy: .venv
using Python: C:/Windows/py.exe
To avoid this, use the --no-create-venv flag or set $GALAXY_VIRTUAL_ENV to an
existing environment before starting Galaxy.

Are you using windows? A requirement for galaxy is UNIX/Linux or Mac OSX.

I manged to install virtualenenv in the end but now I have this error

Activating virtualenv at .venv
./scripts/common_startup_functions.sh: line 105: .venv/bin/activate: No such file or directory

This:

C:/Windows/py.exe

Suggests you are using microsoft windows. You whole operating system need to be UNIX/Linux or Mac OSX.

To add to @gbbio 's reply

Along with avoiding Windows, when you start up under a different OS, try using a Conda virtual environment instead of Python, or expect more problems with the install and/or functionality once using the web GUI. The help in this prior Q&A is still valid and is based on Mac OSX, but the basics are the same under UNIX/Linux:

Thanks!
