Considering that we are very bad at reading minds it would be best to tell us what went wrong.

when I think my life has no sense I like to loggin here and read your comments Wouter, you're absolutely pathetic spending time writting about nothing and helping to nobody, and your auto-up-votes is the best :). In your curriculum write about your score in biostars (20 k) it would be very helpfull :D.

You are free in your opinion about what you consider helpful or not.

your auto-up-votes

That's incorrect speculation. If you have doubts about this I would suggest you contact Istvan Albert

@buffo/ Ranjith..post the errors here. To my understanding, authors provide instructions to docker instead of stand alone application (I might be wrong here). Did you follow the instructions on github?

Thanks for your reply. This is the first time i am installing the VCF miner and I am not familiar with programming languages...

I have downloaded the VCF miner from...https://github.com/Steven-N-Hart/vcf-miner

Then I downloaded the hotfix from microsoft (Using windows 7 ; 64 bit) extracted the files and installed

Then I installed the docker from Github. When I start running the docker quickstart terminal it showing the error message " "Looks like something went wrong in step Looking for vboxmanage.exe'..

Please clarify... and provide me the instructions to follow..

It seems it is likely, a virtual box/docker/OS issue. Stackoverflow is right place to post such an issue. In the mean time, look at this post: https://github.com/docker/toolbox/issues/473

Hi @ranjith.L. I am the maintainer of VCF-Miner. I agree with @cpad0112 that this sounds like you have an issue with your Docker installation, rather than VCF-Miner.

One other thing, since you are not command-line savvy, I would recommend that you try also downloading kitematic. That way it's all point and click.

If you still have problems, please post the full issue and what you have tried - that way I get notified by email that someone is having problems.

Thanks @WouterDeCoster for bringing this to my attention. Sounds like I need to check for other issues on SO.
