how to find the Allele Number of specific variant from gnomAD

I am working with a dataset from gnomAD for which i need to find the "Allele Number" for the variant we are working on. I tried to find such information from this link:

https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/downloads#v2-coverage

but it is not in those files. do you know from which file we can find Allele Number? here is a screenshot of the page showing some information (however I am looking for a file to extract required information including Allele Number):

@PierreLindenbaum : Thanks. using this command I only get info about ancestries. but what I am looking for is the "Allele Number" for each variant. like the screenshot I attached in the question. do you know how I can get this number?
