Portable version

[standage]

First of all, I just want to say thanks for publishing this tool!

I'm interested in trying this out on a local system. Is it possible to access a portable command-line version of the software?

The colab version of this tool is great and easy to use but a portable command-line version would be indeed useful.

Thanks for letting me know! A faster portable command line version is definitely on my todo list. In the meantime, I believe it should be possible to connect colab to a local jupyter runtime: https://research.google.com/colaboratory/local-runtimes.html. I have not tested this, and some changes to Balrog might need to be made to make it work, but if you try it out and run into issues let me know.

Would like to bug you, too, for a locally installable version ...

@Markusjsommer Hi, thanks a lot for this tool. It runs great for my input fasta file on Google Collab.
The local jupyter runtime didn't work for me!
As I am going to use this on a server, it would be super helpful if we have a local command-line version for this tool!
Could you suggest how should I be able to pull it up on a server and make it work? Thanks

Hi there - just dropping in to reinforce that we would love to have a CLI-based implementation of Balrog to test on our systems. Great work and thanks so much!

Hi,
My understanding is that there is a C++ version in this repository that you guys can install via conda.
If that helps,
