I will make 3 separate posts on how to install Admixtools, run qpAdm and run qpGraph respectively. This first blog post will detail steps to successfully install Admixtools by Harvard lab.
STEP 1. Have a Linux system
Admixtools cannot be run from a Windows system. If you have a Windows or MacOS Host system, install Oracle VirtualBox from here. Its free.
Install any Guest linux system on this VBox. I use OpenSuse Leap v15.1 for no particular reason apart from that I'm used to it. The virtual image for installation can be downloaded for free from here.
Once this is done, install the guest Linux system on the VBOX. This video below can guide you.
In the Virtual box settings (can only edit it when Guest OS is shut down), make sure to use 2 processors, 3d acceleration enabled in display settings and I would suggest using 4GB RAM. Use VBoxSVGA as Graphics controller in display settings so that you can get full screen display in guest OS.
