There is no real step by step guide, but the script itself has a help text:

$ python install_tool_shed_tools.py -h

Also make sure you have bioblend installed (pip install bioblend)
It does more things than just installing tools. To just install tools you would use a command line like this:


python install_tool_shed_tools.py -a "your new admin api key" -g "your new galaxy instance url" -t tool_list.yml

tool_list.yml follows the format outlined here:

Thank you both, Marius and Dannon!

Since I am not familiar with ansible, I will just run the python script. I am reading about the usage of the script, trying to figure out what configuration needs  to be in place and what options to use. Is there  a step-by-step guide for using this script somewhere?


Best regards,
Bill

Hi Bill,

I think you're trying to use the ansible-galaxy-tools role as a playbook:
This won't work, you can only include the role in your playbook,
README.md A ready-to-use Ansible playbook for the Galaxy Tools role. Before you can use this playbook, you need to install Ansible: $ pip install ansible
if you're more comfortable not using ansible.

Cheers,
Marius

I haven't seen this before but did a little googling.  What version is your ansible installation?   If it's a little bit older, (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/5412) might be what you're seeing.

It's a bit of a long read, but it looks like reinstalling or updating your ansible (or installing a new one in a fresh virtualenv for isolation) should resolve it.

Let me know if that doesn't fix it up for you.

Hi, all,

 

Sorry to bother you again. I am trying to install tools using the script. I have downloaded the playbook, but stuck here:

 

[galaxy@Pegasus ansible-galaxy-tools]$ ansible-playbook tasks/tools.yml -i "localhost," --extra-vars galaxy_tools_api_key=xcd2Glx

ERROR: pip is not a legal parameter of an Ansible Play

 

I did not find anything related on the Galaxy search either. Any help will be appreciated.

 

The web Admin interface only allows tool installation one by one. I wish it allows batch installation there.

 

Thanks,

Bill
