Dear Nate,

I cd "/home/kangtu/Downloads/galaxy-dist/galaxy_env/bin" and run activate and get message:

kangtu@dscbc-compute:~/Downloads/galaxy-dist/galaxy_env/bin$ activate
The program 'activate' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install lilo

Should I first install it?

when I check the above folder, I do find the file 'activate'

kangtu@dscbc-compute:~/Downloads/galaxy-dist/galaxy_env/bin$ ls
activate      activate.fish     easy_install      pip      python
activate.csh  activate_this.py  easy_install-2.6  pip-2.6
kangtu@dscbc-compute:~/Downloads/galaxy-dist/galaxy_env/bin$

Could you please let me know if you have any suggestion?

Best WIshes,

Yan

I would strongly advise against using sudo for any part of this, since
this is how permissions get screwed up.  If you don't have permission to
write to the directory in which you're downloading virtualenv.py and
setting up the galaxy_env directory, choose another directory in which
your regular unprivileged user can write.

virtualenv.py already exists where you are downloading it, since wget is
trying to save the file as virtualenv.py.1.  You do not need to download
it again.

Skip the download and setup steps.  Someone already created a
virtualenv.  Use the existing one.  I am unclear from your previous
emails whether the galaxy_env directory is at:

 /home/kangtu/data/tools/galaxy_env

or:

 /home/kangtu/data/tools/galaxy-dist/galaxy_env

Whichever it is, do the following:

 % . /home/kangtu/data/tools/galaxy_env/bin/activate

or:

 % . /home/kangtu/data/tools/galaxy-dist/galaxy_env/bin/activate

Then:

 % cd ~/Downloads/galaxy-dist
 % ./run.sh
