# Supported Python versions
|
|
|
|
Galaxy's core functionality is currently supported on Python **2.7** (although
|
|
deprecated) and **>=3.5** .
|
|
|
|
If Galaxy complains about the version of Python you are using, check that
|
|
`python --version` reports a supported version. If this is not the case:
|
|
|
|
1. Completely remove the virtualenv used by Galaxy, e.g. with:
|
|
`rm -rf /path/to/galaxy/.venv`
|
|
|
|
2. Let Galaxy know the path of the correct version of Python.
|
|
|
|
- If you are using Galaxy >= 20.05, just execute:
|
|
`export GALAXY_PYTHON=/path/to/python`
|
|
- If instead you are using an older version of Galaxy, you can manipulate
|
|
your shell's `$PATH` variable to place the correct version first. This can
|
|
be done for just Python by creating a new directory, adding a symbolic
|
|
link to python in there, and putting that directory at the front of
|
|
`$PATH`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
% mkdir ~/galaxy-python
|
|
% ln -s /path/to/python ~/galaxy-python/python
|
|
% export PATH=~/galaxy-python:$PATH
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Start Galaxy again.
|
|
|
|
N.B. If you have compiled your own Python interpreter from source, please ensure
|
|
that the `ssl`, `sqlite3`, `curses` and `bz2` modules were built and can be
|
|
imported after installation. These "extra" modules are built at the end of the
|
|
compilation process and are required by the Galaxy framework. If building on
|
|
Linux, you may need to install the appropriate `-dev` packages for OpenSSL and
|
|
Bzip2. You may also need to build Python with shared libraries
|
|
(`--enable-shared`).
