I attempted to run a job using HISAT2 on galaxy and in the console it shows samtools not found, however the job finishes with a completed bam file. The issue is that galaxy marks the job with an error as unable to finish, even though it did successfully. Do I need to install samtools in the galaxy share for my cluster or is there another issue I may be having? Below is the last call.

Traceback (most recent call last):

The hisat2 wrapper uses samtools for sorting the BAM file: https://github.com/galaxyproject/tools-iuc/blob/master/tools/hisat2/hisat2.xml#L86

However, it looks like this is - yet another - samtools dependency that galaxy needs to actually do the same (sorting, and indexing): http://mimodd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install_galaxy.html#provide-your-galaxy-with-samtools-bcftools-executables

https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/dev/lib/galaxy/datatypes/binary.py#L280 https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/dev/lib/galaxy/datatypes/binary.py#L324 https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/blob/dev/lib/galaxy/datatypes/binary.py#L354

This requires that galaxy has access to samtools in its $PATH before starting up the Galaxy server.

I believe you need samtools 0.1.19 for this and not 1.* because the samtools sort commandline interface has changes and is not backwards compatible anymore.

At some point this should work out of the box and Galaxy should take care of this dependency automatically ( https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/issues/2247 ) but for now just make sure it's available in $PATH
