Hi, I will be using this program for the first time. However, the data does not open in the program. I checked but couldn't find any errors. Can you help me? files attached.
I wish you good work.

SAMOVA can be tricky to get started with. Based on the files you shared, here are a few things to check that may help get the data imported and analyzed:
- Ensure the .arp and .geo files are in the same directory location. SAMOVA looks for both in the working folder.
- Double check that the population IDs/labels match exactly between the two files. Any mismatches will prevent loading.
- Try reducing the number of populations in the files to just 2-3 first. This will rule out any issues from complexity.
- Open the .arp in a text editor to validate all columns/sections are formatted as expected. Refer to documentation for specifics.
- Specify the full path name to the files in the command instead of just the file name (e.g. C:/data/12loci.arp)
- Make sure you have the latest version of SAMOVA installed matching the documentation. Older versions may not parse files properly.
Let me know if you continue facing loading issues after trying these suggestions. Feel free to share the command and any error outputs so I can assist further. Happy to help.
