At what stage of the analysis are you at?

You can use BCFtools/ROH if you have a .vcf file. If you would like to use plink you will have to convert a .vcf file to the appropriate format.

If you use plink this section of the plink manual will help:

If you use BCFtools/ROH this site will help:

The introduction and abstract of these papers will potentially be useful:
