You should provide "tool_dependency_dir" in the config file and point it at
some directory $SW where you will install tools under.
With this enabled, when a tool has a dependency, Galaxy will look for it under
that directory and attempt to run a script to setup the environment. For
example if you have tool with a dependency on foo version 1.3, Galaxy will look
for:
$SW/foo/1.3/env.sh
and if found will source it as part of the job submission script. This usually
contains something simple like
PATH=$PACKAGE_BASE/bin:$PATH
to add the binaries installed with the dependency to the path.
Ideally all dependencies used by Galaxy tools would be installed in this way.
