Hi Tomas, I am going to move your question over to the galaxy-dev@bx.psu.edu mailing list, which give it better exposure to the development community. This is where you will also want to post questions about local installs going forward. Someone here may have advice about this tool - but really your best bet is with the tool/wrapper author. I checked the Galaxy Main Tool Shed, and the repository there for this tool shows it is inactive/never downloaded in the current tool shed version. So, this was not your source or you obtained it some time ago (~ 2 yrs). Still, if this was your source/version, log into the Tool Shed, click on "Repository Actions", and contact the repo owner: http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/petr-novak/repeatrxplorer http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/ToolShedRepositoryFeatures#Contacting_the_owne... This is another link to the tool author for the Main Tool Shed wrapper and the primary tool itself, and perhaps for the wrapper version you are working with as well (from some other source, but you will have to check): http://repeatexplorer.umbr.cas.cz/static/html/help/manual.html Good luck!
