How to install latest version of bcftools on ubuntu?

Hello everybody,

I am trying to install latest version of bcftools in my ubuntu system. But when I run this command

sudo apt-get install bcftools

It installs bcftoolsv1.10. I want bcftoolsv1.16 or greater. Can anybody please help me out in installing latest version of this tool. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

bcftools ubuntu bcftools1.16

You can either compile from source following directions here: http://samtools.github.io/bcftools/howtos/install.html

OR
