Build Status Build status Github All Releases

This is the official development repository for samtools.

The original samtools package has been split into three separate but tightly coordinated projects:

  • htslib: C-library for handling high-throughput sequencing data
  • samtools: mpileup and other tools for handling SAM, BAM, CRAM
  • bcftools: calling and other tools for handling VCF, BCF

Building Samtools

See INSTALL for complete details. Release tarballs contain generated files that have not been committed to this repository, so building the code from a Git repository requires extra steps:

autoheader            # Build config.h.in (this may generate a warning about
                      # AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS - please ignore it).
autoconf -Wno-syntax  # Generate the configure script
./configure           # Needed for choosing optional functionality
make
make install

By default, this will build against an HTSlib source tree in ../htslib. You can alter this to a source tree elsewhere or to a previously-installed HTSlib by configuring with --with-htslib=DIR.
