This is a minor change to enable a lightweight environment to support only the colabfold_search application.

pip install colabfold[colabfold-search]

Change shouldn't affect any existing installation workflows. Tested local install and within colab notebook.

Motivation:

  • In my hands, the deep learning libraries often cause version conflicts and are not required to run the colabfold_search app.
  • It is nice to have a lightweight environment to run colabfold_search without bulky dependencies.
  • It is useful to run colabfold_search locally independent of model inference to support other models using the colabfold_search workflow.

Thats a great idea, thanks a lot!

Could you please restore the commented out line for the local alphafold dependency?

#alphafold-colabfold = { path = "../alphafold", develop = true, optional = true }

Thanks a lot. I changed it so that pip install colabfold will work for search only and dropped the empty [colabfold-search].
