Hi everyone. I am actually very new to protein computational so I have zero idea how do I install AlphaFold 2 to be run on my computer.
I heard that if you install AlphaFold + all required dependencies from source code, it would be significantly faster to run compared when you using a (pre-built) container.
I don't really have any idea on how those two works. If anyone could help me with this, I would be really grateful.
Does any of you know how to do this?
You don't need to install on your computer. The easiest option would be ColabFold.

If you have a cluster computing, you can install all dependencies and colabfols included, otherwise colabfold on the cloud is a better options as Woonghee said. However, if you want to run AF2 subsampling then you better install locally to get acces to a fast calculation.
