Calculate the kinship matrix from NGS data

I wish to calculate the kinship matrix from a batch of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data.

Previously, I have tried to use PCAngsd 0.98 to output the matrix, but it seems that this option does not exist any more since the previous version of the software PCAngsdv2.

Would anyone know what softwares could be used to get a kinship matrix from genomic data files (BAM, VCF) or from genotype probabilities files (BEAGLE, NUMPY)?

plink2's --make-king-and-make-king-table commands can be used to compute a kinship matrix from a VCF.

Sample usage: plink2 --vcf my.vcf --make-king-table
