Hi, I have written a simple xml wrapper to run the UCSC *bigWigToBedGraph* tool on a custom Galaxy install on Amazon cloud. The tool works as expected in this install. The xml file itself is in /mnt/galaxy/galaxy-app/tools/myTools, but I added the bigWigToBedGraph binary to the /mnt/galaxy/tools/bin/ directory, which is by default in the PATH. Alternatively, I guess I could have modified the PATH so that it includes the myTools directory. Since I would like to contribute the tool (my contribution being the wrapper) to *Galaxy Tool Shed*, I am wondering* what is the best way to include it so that it is found in the PATH* whenever the tool is installed from the Tool Shed. Thanks for your help! Sébastien

Hello, You have probably seen the Tool Shed documentation, but if not, this is the hub: https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Tool%20Shed These are the topics about configuration: https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Tool%20Shed#The_contents_of_your_tool_s hed_repository And this sub-section of the above covers how to define/configure dependencies so that they are part of the repository when others install it: https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/DefiningRepositoryDependencies This is a great addition, thanks for the contribution! If you run into any trouble, send the details of where you are having problems to the galaxy-dev@bx.psu.edu mailing list, to better reach the development community for troubleshooting.
