GalaxyHistoryBrowser is tool that can be used to browse histories that have been exported from Galaxy. It can load history archives (in tar.gz format) from local files or URLs, display the structure of the history with datasets and collections, show metadata for selected datasets and display previews of dataset files.
GalaxyHistoryBrowser is written in Java. To build the project from source you will need:
- Java JDK 8 - programming language
- Maven - build and dependency manager
git clone https://github.com/kjetilkl/galaxy_history_browser.git
To compile the Java files and package the project, go into the directory containing the "pom.xml" file and run the Maven command:
mvn package
Maven will package GalaxyHistoryBrowser in a JAR-file and place it in the "target" subdirectory. Other dependencies will be placed in "target/lib".
To start GalaxyHistoryBrowser, go into the "target" directory and run:
java -jar GalaxyHistoryBrowser-1.0.jar
This will start up GalaxyHistoryBrowser with a graphical user interface. You can also run the program as a pure command-line tool by supplying the path to a local file or URL that points to a Galaxy History Archive file (tar.gz format).
java -jar GalaxyHistoryBrowser-1.0.jar <filepath|URL>
