Installing VCFTools on CentOS 7
Hi All,
I am fairly new to Linux CentoOS 7 and I am trying to install VCFtools. I have git and downloaded the package:
[root@cam-vbl-ds01 ~]# git clone https://github.com/vcftools/vcftools.git
Cloning into 'vcftools'...
remote: Counting objects: 445, done.
remote: Total 445 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 445
Receiving objects: 100% (445/445), 736.51 KiB | 0 bytes/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (190/190), done.
but now I am having issues installing VCFtools. Below is my error message when running the first command according to the getting started page for VCFtools:
[root@cam-vbl-ds01 ~]# cd vcftools/
[root@cam-vbl-ds01 vcftools]# ./autogen.sh
./autogen.sh: line 3: autoreconf: command not found
Can you please help me with this? Thank you in advance.

Thank you very much for your help. I was able to continue the installation process after installing zlib-devel.

Log in to answer this question.
Can you check if the
autoconfpackage is installed? If not present install it. Some directions here.Thank you! I just had a rdp of Linux installed for me - nothing else was setup. I am installing the development tools now. I was able to autoconf and it now looks like I need the zlib package:
configure: error: Package requirements (zlib) were not met:
No package 'zlib' found
Where would I best find that package? Thank you!
Find and install
zlib-develpackage for Cent OS.I tried to run the program but it looks like it may not like my vcf file:
--vcf<all_sample.vcf>
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
I assume this means the format of the file I received is not correct?
You should post this as a new question since it is not related to the original one you had posted. Provide the full command line (you can obfuscate file names/paths if you don't want to include real ones).
