+Automated Installation
+======================
+
+Galaxy should be able to automatically install the dependencies, i.e. the
+'blast_datatypes' repository which defines the BLAST XML file format
+('blastxml') and protein and nucleotide BLAST databases ('blastdbp' and
+'blastdbn').
+
+You must tell Galaxy about any system level BLAST databases using configuration
+files blastdb.loc (nucleotide databases like NT) and blastdb_p.loc (protein
+databases like NR), located in the tool-data folder. Sample fils are included
+which explain the tab based format to use.
