Installing Develop on windows.

[HannesStark]

When trying to install the Develop status like so:
pip install -U "bio-embeddings[all] @ git+https://github.com/sacdallago/bio_embeddings.git"
I get an error from jax-unirep that there is no version that satisfies the requirement jaxlib.

Unfortunately, I think jaxlib is not supported for windows right now #438

I can install pip install bio_embeddings. Is it possible to install Develop without jaxlib?

Thanks for documenting the issue @HannesStark :)

For now, there won't be a windows-specific packaging plan, as we focus on cluster execution and linux, and unfortunately no one in the dev team runs a windows machine. Nevertheless, as things stand, there are two solutions for this problem already:

• A fast workaround would be to use docker, but last time we checked (@konstin ) docker-windows didn't support GPU processing
• A somewhat more space intensive workaround would be to use WSL, which would give you much better "emulation"

And then there's the naive answer, which could get me banned from GitHub: why windows? :D
