Description

IN:05282509
For Young GPU pilot users.
Contains fork of AlphaFold2 without the local databases.

1.3.0 is current release.

https://github.com/YoshitakaMo/localcolabfold

License: MIT

Requires: CUDA 11.1 or later, GNU compiler 4.9 or later.

It runs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/YoshitakaMo/localcolabfold/main/install_colabbatch_linux.sh which uses conda - we might need to unconda-ify this because not suitable for central install, though it also says "is also configured for system-wide use on a shared server" and that they use it with environment modules.

(Will need investigating if it can be installed centrally).

Research direction

Start by reading localcolabfold's install_colabbatch_linux.sh and the repository's existing package-build scripts. Investigate whether the installer supports central installation on a shared server with environment modules, including its CUDA 11.1+ and GNU compiler requirements; done means a documented, workable central-install approach or a clear reason it cannot be supported.
