GWAStic software was build and successfully tested on Windows operating system (Windows 7 and 10).

->Install Anaconda (https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/)

conda create --name gwastic_env python=3.9

conda activate gwastic_env

conda install pip

pip install gwastic_desktop

for linux after installation:

wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

chmod +x Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

./Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

cd /home/username/miniconda3

source ~/miniconda3/bin/activate

pip install gwastic_desktop

apt-get install libgl1

Usage:

1. Open the Anaconda prompt and activate your GWAStic environment if you are not already there.
   conda activate gwastic_env
   
2. Type gwastic in the command line to start the software.

Supported input file formats

• VCF file format (including vcf.gz) and Plink BED (binary) format are supported for all GWAS methods. In case of vcf, you first must convert the genotype data to bed file format.

VCF example file

• Phenotypic data must be three columns (Family ID; Within-family ID; Value) text or CSV file delimited by space.
