Hi Vladimir
I contacted with this question vendor tech support (Dell), but they could not answer (or did not want to) and directed me to Galaxy developers. I am using RHEL58 and SciLinux55 and want to install a local instance of Galaxy. Both my systems are based on Python 2.4. Question – can I install Python 2.6/2.7 locally without messing up the system? I was advised earlier not to make system install, but being unhealthy curious I did and ended up with reinstalling SciLinux 55 from scratch. How to make sure 2.6/2.7 will not mess up the system’s Python?
just install Python 2.6 somewhere in on your box (ie in the parallel to the galaxy directory) and follow the steps described under: "Check your Python version" on this wiki page: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Get%20Galaxy I recently just did it for one of our development boxes (which has Python 2.5) to allow galaxy to run with Python 2.6 Regards, Hans-Rudolf
Thanks,
Vladimir
