FAQPage Schema
How do I set up the Modal CLI for protein design workflows?

To set up the Modal CLI for protein design, you must install the client, ensure it is on your system PATH, and run the authentication process to verify token presence for executing remote jobs.

Why does my Modal token authentication fail during installation?

Modal token authentication fails during setup when the CLI is not on your PATH or permissions are missing, requiring troubleshooting steps to verify token presence and resolve access issues.

Do I need a specific GPU type to run BoltzGen and Chai-1 jobs?

Running BoltzGen and Chai-1 jobs requires selecting appropriate GPU types and capacities, with setup providing hardware guidance to ensure sufficient resources for structure prediction and binder generation workloads.

What is the best way to clone and locate biomodals helper scripts?

The best way to get biomodals helper scripts is through a repository bootstrap process that clones the codebase and locates the necessary files to execute protein design workflows.

How do I troubleshoot missing files when running ProteinMPNN and BindCraft?

To troubleshoot missing files when running ProteinMPNN and BindCraft, you perform operational checks using validation tests to identify common error causes and apply fixes for repository bootstrap issues.
