Once you have a VM setup and accessible via ssh, you can also use our scripts for automated configuration and deployment of dependencies and tools. These scripts are used to setup Galaxy Cloud and they're targeted for Ubuntu 10.04 but should be applicable to other distributions as well. The scripts are available here: https://bitbucket.org/afgane/mi-deployment/overview

Hi all,

I would like to set up Galaxy locally. At the moment, I'm just trying to use it on my desktop (a Mac, OSX 10.6.7), but later we will want a local server to play with.

Rather than install galaxy and then install all the tools it can use (and deal with OSX issues for some of them), it seems simpler just to use a virtual machine, since there are images which get regularly updated and come with pretty much everything. Is there anything wrong with this approach?

I know there are Amazon EC2 images for Galaxy. So far as I know there are not other kinds of images? So for using it on my desktop, I think my options are either to run an EC2-compatible system locally, or to try to convert the AMI to a VMWare or VirtualBox image. I was just wondering if anyone has already tried either of these approaches?

Also, is it possible to get hold of the galaxy AMI files themselves?

Any advice welcome!

Thanks,
Clare
