Because of the way the infrastructure for my Galaxy instance is set up, I need to download and install tools from the toolshed manually. For most of the tools, this is pretty easy, however I'm now trying to add RSEM to my instance and it has some new datatypes.
Along with the new data types is python class file. I'm referring to the exist datatypes_conf.xml.sample but don't see a reference to datatype_files as is coded in the RSEM tool.
So my question is, how can I manually install a tool such as RSEM from the toolshed? I've cloned it but not sure where to put the files and what to modify in Galaxy's configuration to see the new files. I can modify the datatypes_conf.xml and include the datatypes, but I get the sense this is not correct.

The old pre-ToolShed way to add a new datatype was indeed to add it to datatypes_conf.xml and put any Python file into the galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/datatypes/ I'm still doing this on some of my locally developed tools, but now they are in the ToolShed perhaps I should switch to using that... Regards, Peter P.S. You also used to need to add an import line to the galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/datatypes/registry.py but that is not longer required as of this bug fix: https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/commits/1422966f1ca88472b8685015...
