> Several very commonly used annotation databases for human genomes are additionally provided below. In general, users can use -downdb -webfrom annovar in ANNOVAR directly to download these databases. To view of full list of databases (and their size and last changed date) **prepared by ANNOVAR developers, use avdblist keyword in -downdb operation**

Ok so I tried this

    perl annotate_variation.pl -downdb avdblist

And this

    perl annotate_variation.pl -downdb -webfrom annovar avdblist

And this

    perl annotate_variation.pl -downdb -webfrom avdblist

And other variations and I get no list

WTF is it so hard to give an example of the exact command to use? 

Thanks to natasha.sernova I scrolled down a little bit and found the answer (and someone just as frustrated as me)

This works

    $ perl annotate_variation.pl -webfrom annovar -downdb avdblist -buildver hg19 .

![ANNOVAR needs better documentation][1]
