Description

Hi I a mrunning colab fold but get this message

"WARNING: You are welcome to use the default MSA server, however keep in mind that it's a
limited shared resource only capable of processing a few thousand MSAs per day. Please
submit jobs only from a single IP address. We reserve the right to limit access to the
server case-by-case when usage exceeds fair use. If you require more MSAs: You can
precompute all MSAs with colabfold_search or host your own API and pass it to --host-url
"

Is there an easy way t do MSA locally and not using this "server"?
