Hi guys,

I'm following the instructions here to install Galaxy on our SGE cluster. http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Config/Performance/Cluster (I'm aiming for the unified install)

Here are a couple of questions I'm hoping someone could clear up for me:

How exactly do I use virtual env to make Galaxy install all the Python libraries there instead of on the system? How will Galaxy know to use the virtualenv to run and to use it for grid jobs?

Hi Greg, You should start at the top level documentation for production servers: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Config/Performance/Production%20Server This includes instructions on how to set up a virtualenv. You can make this the default by setting the $PATH in the Galaxy user's ~/.bash_profile to include the virtualenv's bin directory (at the beginning of $PATH).

Do I need to install all of the dependencies listed on this page: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Tools/Tool%20Dependencies If so what's a good way to make sure they're contained in the galaxy-dist directory and make sure Galaxy and all of the jobs know to find these tools there?

You only need to install the dependencies for the tools that you plan to use. Setting them up is explained in more detail here: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Config/Tool%20Dependencies --nate

Thanks,
