[galaxy-dev] install Galaxy in Windows (URGENT)

2013-02-01 Thread Prasun Dutta
Hi,

I have Windows Vista and 8 in two separate laptops. I need to install a local 
version of Galaxy server in both the systems. I am unable to understand or 
follow the instructions given in your website 
(http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Get%20Galaxy). Could you kindly help me or 
just explain me stepwise how to install it in my system?

Quoting that page,

The installation procedure is simple and is nearly identical for UNIX/Linux
and Mac OS X. We are no longer supporting the Windows platform with
our distribution, so you will have to build your own Python eggs if you
want to install it on Windows (see Admin/Config/Windows for some tips).
Of course, Windows users can use our public Galaxy server from their
browsers.

Right now you *can't* install Galaxy on Windows. Only if you were an
experienced Python developer with cross-platform experience would
it even be worth trying.

The idea is you just run a web-browser on your (Windows) Laptop,
and connect to Galaxy running on a (Linux) server. Just like you
should be able to use your  (Windows) Laptop to connect to the
public Galaxy at http://usegalaxy.org

Hi Peter,

Unfortunately, I am not an advanced developer in python. Although, I have 
'Cygwin' in my system. Any heads up on that will be greatly appreciated?

 Cygwin is a useful system for running Unix/Linux tools under Windows,
 and according to this old email from Nate you would need to use it:
 http://lists.bx.psu.edu/pipermail/galaxy-dev/2010-November/003671.html
 
 More recently a couple of people tried this and ran into problems:
 http://lists.bx.psu.edu/pipermail/galaxy-dev/2011-October/007132.html
 http://lists.bx.psu.edu/pipermail/galaxy-dev/2011-October/007180.html
 http://lists.bx.psu.edu/pipermail/galaxy-dev/2011-October/007182.html
 
 For the simplest install and maintenance, choose what the Galaxy team
 use: Linux

Even if you can get the framework to run, many tools with C dependencies are 
going to be a nightmare to use since the dependencies will almost certainly not 
compile.  The easiest solution these days if you really have no access to a 
Linux system (the cloud is a good choice here) is probably to install Linux in 
a VM on your Windows system.  This can be done for free with a VM platform like 
VirtualBox.
