Hello,

I have a local instance, I am the only user, and I would like to use a tool that is in the galaxy tool shed but not in my local instance. After reading the toolshed wiki (http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Tool%20Shed) I have a few questions. 1. Do I need a local tool shed? I need to use an available tool but do not need to develop tools

It sounds like you want to install a tool from one of the Galaxy tool sheds that is already available, so you do not need a local tool shed.

2. According to this part of the wiki (http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Tool%20Shed#Automatic_installation_of_Galaxy_tool_...) I need to be logged in as "Admin". How do I make myself an Admin?

See whti wiki: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Interface

Thank you, Edward
