vina doesn't install on windows in conda #2

Tried installing with -yml file using conda, but vina abrupts the installation of environment on windows. Probably no python bindings for the same.

Hi @rez3vil - if you want to run the software locally and are using a Windows operating system, we recommend installing and using the Windows Subsystem for Linux. There are many computational chemistry packages that are not available on Windows, so this approach is also more flexible for other packages.

@janash Thanks for replying. It is working in subsystem, just wanted to make it work in windows. Is there any chance I could substitute vina with smina? its an old fork of vina but woks on windows.

janash commented 4 months ago

You obviously can't use the Python API for smina, but if you know how to do docking with smina and would prefer to substitute it, go for it.

@janash Got it. I will try to validate both. Thanks for help.
