Description

In this line the installation script incorrectly assumes that the BindCraft env must be under CONDA_BASE. This fails for any system where this is not the case. One example is environments where conda is installed for multiple users globally, with envs being created in users HOME directories:

source ${CONDA_BASE}/bin/activate ${CONDA_BASE}/envs/BindCraft || { echo -e "Error: Failed to activate the BindCraft environment."; exit 1; }

Please consider changing this. source ${CONDA_BASE}/bin/activate BindCraft should work

Research direction

Open install_bindcraft.sh and inspect the activation command at line 59. Verify the installer activates the BindCraft environment by name rather than assuming it is under CONDA_BASE, and confirm installation works when Conda environments are stored elsewhere.
