I have Galaxy running on a small Mac workstation. I have made a specific user, 'galaxy', for it. It is cleaner, but probably overkill for 1 person.

Note also that you can install a daemon to start Galaxy automatically when your computer starts: https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/src/d2d4b6ac2139f1623301990462a5...

I don't think I have ever waited long enough to see the end of the unit tests. If some fail without any obvious reason (missing dependencies or what not), you should probably raise this issue on the Galaxy mailing list or bug tracker.

Thanks for the startup tip Florent. That would be useful for those using Galaxy daily. So you think that running the install as the current non-root but ADMIN user works OK? What about the install folder? Must it be the home folder or is a subfolder OK as I have it (/Users/pst/Applications/)? My test output "run_functional_tests.html" is 5.1MB. I suppose that is too much to post on the list. I think that most of the errors are not due to dependencies. How do I get help with that? Paul
