Hi everyone,
I'm trying to install a local instance of Galaxy in my Ubuntu using Conda as the dependency framework. I have been following the instructions from the Galaxy's documentation to install it with pinned dependencies, so I executed the following steps:
Create a conda env with Python 2.7 pointing to the Bioconda channel:
conda create -n galaxy python=2.7 -c bioconda
Getting Galaxy from its repository:
git clone -b release_17.09 https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy.git
Activating the new environment:
source activate galaxy
From within the environment, I try to run Galaxy:
sh run.sh
But I get the following error:

The Galaxy's documentation says the following about Conda:
Conda and virtualenv are incompatible. However, Conda provides its own environment separation functionality in the form of Conda environments. Starting Galaxy with Conda Python will cause --skip-venv to be implicitly set, and the currently active Conda environment will be used to install Galaxy framework dependencies instaead. Be sure to create and activate a Conda environment for Galaxy prior to installing packages and/or starting Galaxy.
Which I believe I followed as I should, so the problem is clearly about dependencies, but I couldn't figure out how to solve only looking at the error message. Here is what the doc says about pinned dependencies:
You may choose to install Galaxy’s dependencies either at their pinned versions using pip or unpinned using a combination of conda and pip. When running under Conda, pip is not replaced with Galaxy pip, so installing pinned dependencies will require compilation, will be slower and requires having those dependencies’ build-time dependencies installed [...]
Thank you in advance for any help! :)
