Overview
Galaxy is an easy-to-use, open-source, scalable framework for tool and data integration. Galaxy provides access to tools (mainly comparative genomics) through an interface (e.g., a web-based interface). The Galaxy framework is implemented in the Python programming language.
End Users
A public instance of Galaxy maintained by Penn State University is at http://usegalaxy.org/
Developers
To get started with installing your own Galaxy instance, the only required component is Python (2.4,2.5, and 2.6). Four simple steps will get you started with your own Galaxy instance
- clone the mercurial galaxy distribution
hg clone http://www.bx.psu.edu/hg/galaxy galaxy_dist
or get a source tarball - execute setup.sh
- execute run.sh
- go to http://localhost:8080
- Galaxy runs on a local webserver, PasteScript written in Python. PasteScript is based on Python's library module simplehttpserverand implemented with the help of python package, WSGIUtils
- For deployment to production environments, Galaxy documentation suggests using a proxy server like Apache/Nginx to serve up static content and for handling authnz. As mentioned in Galaxy's ApacheProxy documentation, here's how to edit Apache's httpd.conf to proxy Galaxy on port 80
<Proxy http://localhost:8080>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all

- Change the path to where you have cloned/installed Galaxy
- http://localhost/galaxy should bring up Galaxy on port 80 now
