Hi Clare, 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

Good luck, Enis

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

Hi Clare, The set of scripts I mentioned is for automating configuration and deployment of any machine to have the tools and dependencies to run Cloudman and Galaxy. You may need to make some adjustments to the user names and paths as to where the tools are installed but it should work pretty much out-of-the-box for any machine.

Hi Alex & Enis,

Thanks very much!

I've only recently got VMware installed and am having a look at the NBIC VM now. This is just the sort of thing I was looking for for quick start-up.

I've heard of the afgane project - it has been suggested to us that this would be a good path to take for our local cloud. Is it specifically designed for creating AMIs, or is it really for automated configuration and deployment anywhere?

Thanks, Clare
