[IPython-dev] Announcement: Galaxy IPython Integration - interactive programming in Galaxy

[Björn Grüning]

Hi Kyle,

currently you need to have an own Galaxy installation [1]. It's 
relatively simple and and mainly a hg clone and ./run.sh step.

If you have a running Galaxy instance you can follow the installation 
instruction under: https://github.com/bgruening/galaxy-ipython

It's simple as: git clone 
https://github.com/bgruening/galaxy-ipython.git 
$GALAX_DIR/config/plugins/viz/ipython

We are facing the problem that all our productive systems do not have 
access to docker, so we need a little bit of time to migrate our 
servers. Also, I would like to collect a few more comments and reviews 
before we can offer this feature to all Galaxy users.

Please note, that I'm in close contact with the main Galaxy devs but I'm 
not part of that gang, so I have nothing to decide weather or not that 
feature will be added to usegalaxy.org.

Thanks for your interest!
Bjoern
