Hi,
I'm new to Plink and I would like to install plink2 in the Windows Subsystem for Linux. 
However I did not manage to install plink2 but my friend can install it when they run this command line.

You can easily download it straight from the website (https://www.cog-genomics.org/plink/) and then set it up from there. Let me know if you have future issues!

I'm not sure whether I've set it up right or not, but I've downloaded the binaries and I still cannot install it. 
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you!

You need to unzip the file.

unzip plink2_linux_x86_64.zip

I've unzipped it but it still cannot install the plink2..  
Is there some step that I'm missing here? 

Thank you in advance :'D
