Research direction
Start with the installation instructions at http://samtools.github.io/bcftools/howtos/install.html and inspect the section after the HTSlib note. Ensure the documented sequence includes changing to bcftools-1.x/htslib-1.x/, running make, and copying bgzip and tabix to the same bin directory; the documentation is done when a fresh reader can follow those steps without inference.

Description
Hello.
The installation instruction is not full:
After "The bgzip and tabix utilities are provided by HTSlib. ... you may wish to install these utilities by hand by":
cd bcftools-1.x/htslib-1.x/
make
and only after that "by copying {bgzip,tabix} to the same bin directory to which you have installed bcftools et al."
