Distribution and installation of submodules

[dmccloskey]

As a developer, I would like to be able to pick and choose which submodules to download and install. Ideally, I should be able to install the entire AIAgents4Pharma application (i.e., front end, back end, and agent modules) or download and install individual packages (e.g., just talk2biomodels).

Possible solutions

• each submodule has their own docs, tests, code, requirements, and build scripts
• the repository has a build script that can build the complete application or only parts of the application

Inspiration

• See the new NVIDIA BioNeMo repository
• Or see the Apache arrow repository
