Galaxy is a web based platform. Can Galaxy be run as a command line tool?
Thanks, Usha
Usha:
Galaxy is essentially a wrapper around other command line tools. So, while you could probably extract some of its pieces to run on the command line, I don't know why you would want to.

I would argue it would be beneficial to invoke pipelines from the command line instead of being forced to use the web-based interface. command line is beneficial for large #'s of datasets that need to be analyzed.

I think Ryan is right and I think that's exactly the niche for the API.
Usha you could take a look into: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Learn/API
It seems there is very limited documentation, but it might help you to see if what you want is already possible.

Sorry for the late response.
Thanks for your help.

I didn't understand Usha's question the same way you did. I agree that it's useful to run workflows in a more automated way.
I have not run workflows using the Galaxy API yet, but I did see some documentation on it and plan to try it soon.

Maybe someone with more expertise has something more to say about this.

Hi All,
It is indeed possible to run workflows from the command line via the API. Have a look at the sample script galaxy-dist/scripts/api/workflow_execute.py to see how it's done. Sorry for the lack of documentation, although this is finally in progress.

Hello all,
The documentation is on my todo list, and is fairly high up on it (and now it's a little higher). However, it is a wiki and everyone is encouraged to create an account and update the doc as you learn things.
