I'm trying to install vcftools on mac. Looking at previous posts on this issue, I made sure I've got Mac OS X developer tools (http://www.cnet.com/how-to/install-command-line-developer-tools-in-os-x/). I followed the procedure recommended in the official documantion (https://vcftools.github.io/examples.html). When I run from the command line:
./configure.ac
I get the following errors:
./configure.ac: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token [2.63]'
./configure.ac: line 4:AC_PREREQ([2.63])'
If I try:
./configure
It says:
-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
as indeed there in no ./configure when I inspect the contents with:
ls
Can anyone point out where I am doing wrong. I've tried resources such as 'homebrew' but I didn't help.
Thanks a lot.
did you really run this ?: https://github.com/vcftools/vcftools
git clone https://github.com/vcftools/vcftools.git
cd vcftools
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install
this requires autoreconf so first this is needed:
brew install automake

Have you tried installing from bioconda?
