Hi All, I tried to install Galaxy on CYGWIN platform and found that one of the required tools (Psutils) does not support CYGWIN

Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
platform cygwin is not supported

Is there any workaround that allow to setup Galaxy in CYGWIN envirinment?

Thank you!

Hi Alexander,

I just attempted this and had a ton of trouble getting wheels (Galaxy's python dependencies) built on Cygwin. psutil is the dependency that flat out says "cygwin is not supported", so I disabled that and went through and installed the -dev packages for the various components to hopefully build the rest of things, but I still ran into many problems.

I'd really recommend that a much better path to using Galaxy on windows would be to use Docker (https://github.com/bgruening/docker-galaxy-stable), or (and this is what I do) install VirtualBox www.virtualbox.org) and set up a barebones linux machine that you can run using Xubuntu or some similarly lightweight distro. Let me know if I can give any other advice about this!

Hi Dannon, thank you so muck for your answer. I just installed Mint on an old laptop. Thank you! BTW I did not know Docker works with Windows as a host.

Cool, glad you figured something out. Regarding Docker on Windows, it also uses a lightweight linux virtualbox VM to actually run as the docker host, but it's pretty seamless these days!
