At the moment, vcf-validator needs to be compiled from source. Once this is done, no extra installation steps are required and the binary may be used from other Linux systems.
The only dependencies are the Boost library core and the Boost.regex module.
If you are using Ubuntu, the required packages names will be libboost-dev and libboost-regex-dev.
In order to create the build scripts, please run cmake with your preferred generator. For instance, cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" will create Makefiles, and to build the binaries, you will need to run make.
In any case, two binaries should be created in the bin subfolder: vcf_validator (the main application) and test_validator (unit tests).
vcf-validator only needs an input VCF file to be run. It accepts input in two different ways:
- File path as argument:
vcf_validator /path/to/file.vcf - Standard input:
vcf_validator stdin < /path/to/file.vcf(the input can also come from a pipe)
