We are trying to run the plink command for QC

plink \
--bfile EUR \
--maf 0.01 \
--hwe 1e-6 \
--geno 0.01 \
--mind 0.01 \
--write-snplist \
--make-just-fam \
--out EUR.QC

however, it gives us an error: ERROR: Problem parsing the command line arguments. Please what may be the possible cause of the error. I am using the Cygwin platform on windows.

That error message is from plink 1.07. This flag requires plink 1.9.

I tried the issue on my virtual machine and it turns out that you have to install the plink 1.90 beta version from https://www.cog-genomics.org/plink/
