Re: [Vcftools-help] help with installation

[Warren W. K. <wkr...@gm...>]

Hi Mark,
You are trying to install vcftools to a directory that requires sudo
permissions.  I would expect either of these three sets of commands to work
for you.  The first two sets install locally to your home directory.  The
third option installs vcftools for all users in a directory only writable
by an admin.  I tend to use the first option.

./configure prefix=$HOME
make
make install

OR

./configure
make
make install prefix=$HOME

OR

./configure
make
sudo make install
