Computer Exercises


To participate in the computer exercises you will need to download several pieces of software. First I suggest that you make a new folder on your university H: drive, to keep today's programs and data files in. Remember to use a folder name WITHOUT ANY SPACES.

Software Required

PLINK:

If you are working on Windows (MS-DOS) you can hopefully just save the following file to the folder that you just made:

plink.exe

[Right click, select "Save link as", and navigate through to save it in the desired folder].

FaST-LMM:

You will also need to get FaST-LMM running on your computer in order to do the last exercise. If you are working on Windows (MS-DOS) you can hopefully just save the following files to the folder that you just made:

FastLmmC.exe
libiomp5md.dll

[Right click, select "Save link as", and navigate through to save it in the desired folder].
