Hi Rahul

You should not ask such questions. If you "google" enough, you should find tutorials/manual for executing possibly any tool.

In case if you run into an issue, post the details here so that others can help.

Yes, you can!

KmerGenie can be used to estimate the genome size or the best k-mer length to assemble your data. I have written a blog post on how to install and use KmerGenie.
