+ANNOVAR needs to be installed manually in the following way:
+
+
+1)	If you already have ANNOVAR installed on your system, simply edit the tool-data/annovar.loc file to reflect locations of 
+	the perl scripts (annotate_variation.pl and convert2annovar.pl) and humandb directory (directory containing the annovar database files)
+1b) Restart galaxy instance for changes in .loc file to take effect
+
+
+2)	If you do not have ANNOVAR installed, request annovar download and sign license here: 
+		http://www.openbioinformatics.org/annovar/annovar_download_form.php
+
+	3)	Once downloaded, install annovar per the installation instructions and edit annovar.loc file to reflect location of directory containing perl scripts.
+			tool uses annotate_variation.pl  and  convert2annovar.pl
+	
+	4)	Then download all desired databases for all desired builds as follows:
+			annotate_variation.pl -downdb -buildver <build> [-webfrom annovar] <database> <humandb>
+	
+		where <humandb> is location where all database files should be stored
+		and <database> is the database file to download, e.g. refGene (see bottom of document for all available database files at the time of writing this tool)
+		and <build> can be hg18 or hg19 for humans, also other organisms available.
+	
+		list of all available databases can be found here: http://www.openbioinformatics.org/annovar/annovar_db.html
+	
+	5) edit the tool-data/annovar.loc file to reflect location of humandb folder
+	5b) restart galaxy instance for changes in .loc file to take effect
+
+6) Tool uses cgatools join for combining of files, this should be installed automatically with repository. If not, get a copy from Complete Genomics directly:
+		wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/cgatools/files/1.7.1/cgatools-1.7.1.5-linux_binary-x86_64.tar.gz
+		tar xvzf cgatools-1.7.1.5-linux_binary-x86_64.tar.gz		
+
+	and place the "cgatools" binary found in bin/ directory on your $PATH
+	
+	
+list of files in my own humandb folder:
