Server Galaxy issue with installing tool dependencies

Hi,
We have a server download of Galaxy version 24.0
I’ve tried to install a few tools from the galaxy toolshed but there seems to be an issue with the dependency resolver to allow the tool to work. When I attempt to run the tools, I get the error ‘Conda dependency seemingly installed by failed to build job environment’. I’ve included a screenshot when I look in manage dependencies . A lot of the tools which came with the install on the server also seem to have this issue. Is this a permissions issue and does anyone have any idea how to resolve this?


Thanks for taking the time to read this and hope someone can help :slight_smile:

Hi @Lorna

We have a guide here about how tools find the correct dependency versions.

Then we have tutorials here for how to set up a Galaxy server.

This tutorial would be a good place to double check how you were installing tools. In short, use the managed dependencies checkbox to install when doing this individually, or you can do this in batch.

Then, by chance I see that some of the tool versions in your listing do not seem to be the latest version we host on the public Galaxy servers, so consider double checking if that is the version you really want to use. You will find change logs at the developer repositories linked into the Tool Shed that capture all the differences.

Hope this helps and you can ask follow up questions! :slight_smile:

Thanks :slight_smile: will give those a read and have a go. Will come back to let you know how it goes.

“Conda dependency seemingly installed by failed to build job environment” can appear when not all of the dependencies needed by a tool that requires multiple dependencies is installed. Normally, we install all dependencies into a “mulled” environment, but if only some of them are installed, Galaxy will attempt to create a per-job conda environment with all the necessary dependencies, and in this case it is failing to do so.

Select the checkbox next to the dependencies/tool you need to install dependencies for and click the “Install Dependencies” button at the bottom of the page. If this fails, check the Galaxy logs to see why.
