Need Help with running Galaxy locally

Question

[manojmonmax]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to install Galaxy (Version - 20.09) locally through the terminal on macOS. After installing and creating a virtual environment, I tried to run Galaxy locally using sh run.sh command.

But I am getting this error -

thunder lock: disabled (you can enable it with --thunder-lock)

probably another instance of uWSGI is running on the same address

bind(): Address already in use [core/socket.c line 769]

I am not getting any URL in the terminal so that I can run it locally. I uninstalled Galaxy, installed it in a different location, and repeated the process several times. I also searched online forums for the solution but could not find any. I am still not able to run Galaxy locally. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

It would be better to post this over at https://help.galaxyproject.org/

Hi @manojmonmax, based on the error highlighted by you, we can see that some other process is already using the port galaxy wants to use. To find out this, you can type the following command:

lsof -i:8080

This command will give us the ID of the process using the port. Once you get the ID, please type the following command to kill that process:

kill 'ID' [In the place of ID, enter the process ID]

Once you have done this, please re-run galaxy using the sh run.sh command and hopefully it should work.

Thank you so much @mariii for the response. I somehow figured out the same solution provided by you and I was able to successfully run Galaxy locally.

Cheers :)
