This page describes how to integrate Galaxy with installed BioUML server.

Download Galaxy distribution and unpack it somewhere. It usually contains galaxy_dist directory. Let’s say it’s $GALAXY_DIST

Galaxy requires python eggs, starting galaxy server for the first time will acquire these dependencies. Run the following command from $GALAXY_DIST folder:

 sh run.sh

After successful setup it will write "Starting server in PID", kill galaxy server with Ctrl^C.

 chown -R tomcat6:tomcat6 $GALAXY_DIST

Create and change ownership of .python-eggs folder usually located in tomcat home:

 mkdir /usr/share/tomcat6/.python-eggs
 chown -R tomcat6:tomcat6 .python-eggs

Visit $SERVER_PATH/analyses. There should be “Galaxy” folder with “default.config” file (create it if absent). The file content should be the following:

name = Galaxy
class = ru.biosoft.galaxy.GalaxyDataCollection
plugins=ru.biosoft.galaxy
galaxy.path = $GALAXY_DIST
galaxy.tmp = /tmp

Make sure that $SERVER_PATH/plugins/ru.biosoft.galaxy_0.9.4/glaunch.sh has +x attribute

Note that only some Galaxy tools work “out-of-the-box”. For many of them additional software or data files (like genome indexes, etc.) must be installed and properly configured.
