This PR improves the installation experience for Evo 2 by:

  • Adding an example environment.yml with a reproducible conda setup (Python 3.12, CUDA 12.1, PyTorch 2.5.1, Transformer Engine, FlashAttention, Vortex).
  • Updating the README with:
    • an "Example conda environment" section, and
    • a "Troubleshooting (installation)" section that covers common errors involving transformer_engine, vortex, and CUDA/NVRTC library issues.

These changes are intended to help new users create a working environment more easily and reduce repeated installation-related questions in existing GitHub issues.

Code Review

This pull request is a great addition to improve the user installation experience. I've found a couple of areas for improvement. In environment.yml, the flash-attn package should be installed via pip to ensure the correct version is used, as it's not available on the specified conda channels. In README.md, the new troubleshooting section has some markdown formatting issues that I've suggested fixes for to improve readability. Overall, these changes will be very helpful for new users.
