Hi,

I am learning how to install and configure Galaxy on our computer cluster. Many third party tools, for example, bowtie, samtools, R and so on, have to be installed and configured in order to install galaxy. Do I have to convert the third party tools to MPI version in order to run the tools on a computer cluster? Or do I just install the "regular" version of the tools on the "shared" folder of our cluster?

Hi Xintao, I've moved this question over to the dev list since it concerns a local installation. You don't need to convert them to MPI, they run as serial jobs on a single node. Note that you can specify the number of cores to use in the tool's config file, which you'll want to set for the nodes you're running them on. --nate

Thank you!
