[Vcftools-help] Could not install vcftools on Mac computer

[Bridget O. <bri...@un...>]

Hello,
I would like to install vcftools on a Mac computer.
I downloaded the tar version "vcftools-vcftools-v0.1.16-16-g954e6072.tar" ,
navigated to the directory containing the file and followed the instruction
outlined here https://vcftools.github.io/examples.html. But when I ran the
./configure, it returns  "No such file or directory"

and when I ran the command "make", it returns

 " ***No target specified and no make file found. stop " ,

despite that there are files labelled "configure", "configure.ac" and
"Makefile.am"  in the directory.
I really need assistance with this please.
Thanks
Kind Regards
Bridget
