Hi Edward I am moving your e-mail to 'galaxy-dev' since it's about a local Galaxy instance.
I don't think there are any differences between installing Galaxy on Linux and Mac OS X. Hence you can follow the step-by-step instructions on the wiki (well, there are actually only two steps anyway...): http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Get%20Galaxy WRT checking the python version: just type 'python -V' on the command line, eg on my old MacBook: bash-3.2$ python -V Python 2.5.1 bash-3.2$ Hope this helps Regards, Hans On 08/10/2012 02:37 PM, Edward Turk wrote: > Hello, > Could someone provide instructions for installing galaxy on a Mac OS 10.7? The instructions provided by galaxy start off by asking me to check my python version, but I don't know how to do that. I figure someone has step-by-step instructions or a screen cast? > Thank you, > Edward > ___________________________________________________________ > The Galaxy User list should be used for the discussion of > Galaxy analysis and other features on the public server > at usegalaxy.org.
