Hi Peter,
Unfortunately, I am not an advanced developer in python. Although, I have 'Cygwin' in my system. Any heads up on that will be greatly appreciated?
Cygwin is a useful system for running Unix/Linux tools under Windows, and according to this old email from Nate you would need to use it: http://lists.bx.psu.edu/pipermail/galaxy-dev/2010-November/003671.html
More recently a couple of people tried this and ran into problems: http://lists.bx.psu.edu/pipermail/galaxy-dev/2011-October/007132.html http://lists.bx.psu.edu/pipermail/galaxy-dev/2011-October/007180.html http://lists.bx.psu.edu/pipermail/galaxy-dev/2011-October/007182.html
For the simplest install and maintenance, choose what the Galaxy team use: Linux
Even if you can get the framework to run, many tools with C dependencies are going to be a nightmare to use since the dependencies will almost certainly not compile. The easiest solution these days if you really have no access to a Linux system (the cloud is a good choice here) is probably to install Linux in a VM on your Windows system. This can be done for free with a VM platform like VirtualBox. --nate
