Common Issues

Issue: DeepPurpose not installed Solution: pip install git+https://github.com/kexinhuang12345/DeepPurpose.git

Issue: API slow on CPU Solution: Install GPU support: pip install torch cuda-toolkit

Issue: TDC download fails Solution: System automatically falls back to 40+ built-in FDA drugs

Issue: OpenTargets/UniProt slow Solution: These are remote APIs - performance depends on network
