Can you kindly show us how to check for the compatibilities required on a Windows 10 laptop?

[@bioinformaticscoach]

You can enable windows subsystem. And then use that to install bcftools. Or you can prepare a virtual linux by following this tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emS2Z5V_n7yVesk

Not able to do configuration in windows using ./configure. Is there an alternative

[@bioinformaticscoach]

bcftools can be run only in unix environments. If you want to run in windows then here are some suggestions. 1. Install Linux in a virtualbox and run the commands in it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/emS2Z5V_n7yVesk 2. Enable the windows subsystem. That will allow you to run linux commands and apps. 3. You can also install bcftools using anaconda: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eH3Lh6R4jbGSrJY

mac terminal says unrecognized commands $ and wget. Pls let me know how I can install these.

[@bioinformaticscoach]

The instruction here is for linux. For MacOS you can use curl to download. You can also book a session with me and we can discuss further.

[@anmolpardeshi3138]

@@bioinformaticscoach so the $ sign is specific to linux only? can that be skipped on mac?

[@bioinformaticscoach]

@@anmolpardeshi3138 The commands do not start with a $ sign. So you have to skip them.
