Hi, guys:

It is really impressive that pheweb could got installed easily, basically first pip3 install pheweb and then pheweb process. Of course, before pheweb process, users need to create a pheno list file and a configuration file.

I can understand that pip3 install pheweb will generate a pheweb executable into /home/ME/.local/bin/ directory.

My question is: when and how and where the actual python scripts are installed? I don't know where to locate them. The pheweb executable only has 6 lines of code. Does it call some actual python scripts?

Similarly: when and how the huge dbsnp files got downloaded? I don't want pheweb to download them repeatedly since I already have a copy of these files on my computer.

Your explanation would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you & best regards, jie

I don't remember about dbsnp. I think there's an option you can set to use a cache directory.
