IRFinder-S: that's tricky without conda because we need to cover also that in all pipelines. So one option is to create one and maintain it. Would you like to do that?

Do you mean creating a Conda package? I haven't done that before, but I could do that if it's the best approach.

That would be great! I don't see any problem. My only worry is the memory requirement, but we can check that later.

I'd suggest asking the developers if they can relax the memory requirement from a hard fail.

Yes, it would be easiest if they could address this on their end. The original IRFinder had an official Bioconda package, but unfortunately, IRFinder-S doesn't. The repository also hasn't been updated in about four years. I think I'll still reach out to the developers and ask about it.

yeah, still ask

One aspect to keep in mind. They use CNN so this is gonna likely require GPU, though I didn't see runtime benchmarks - I just quick checked the paper.
