打开circos官网地址(http://circos.ca/)，我们看到的就是circos网站的首页图，点击最上边的GET STARTED。

上面可以直接点linux版本或者windows版本进行下载安装，具体的安装步骤可以参考官网(http://circos.ca/tutorials/lessons/configuration/unix_vs_windows/)，安装好后根据不同的版本进行操作即可。

On UNIX (e.g. Linux),在虚拟机或者liunux服务器上安装步骤如下

# UNIX> cd example
> ./run# batch file runs 'circos -conf etc/circos.conf'debuggroup summary 0.86s parsing karyotype and organizing ideograms
debuggroup summary 1.08s applying global and local scaling
debuggroup summary 1.15s allocating image, colors and brushes
debuggroup summary 7.19s drawing highlights and ideograms
debuggroup summary 8.94s processing links
debuggroup summary 13.31s processing data tracks
Processing text track - this might take a while
debuggroup summary 68.75s generating output

created image at ./circos.svg# look at circos.png

On Windows,安装步骤如下

# Windows> cd example
> perl ..\bin\circos -conf etc\circos.conf

You can always leave out the -conf etc\circos because Circos will find it automatically.

> perl ..\bin\circos

If you get a "configuration file not found" error, then you are very likely not in the example directory. To check, use cd which will report the current directory. It should be where you installed circos.

> cd
C:\circos\example

利用circos软件的示例文件运行代码绘制circos图非常炫酷，有png和svg两种格式，大家可以试一试。
