Help Getting started

Hi,

This is the error message I get when I was trying to get Homebrew. 

Press RETURN/ENTER to continue or any other key to abort:

==> /usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/chown -R fatima:admin /usr/local/Homebrew

==> Downloading and installing Homebrew...

Error: Failed to link all completions, docs and manpages:

Error: homebrew/science was deprecated. This tap is now empty and all its contents were either deleted or migrated.

I want to download circos, and I am new to programs in general. What am I doing wrong?

> homebrew/science was deprecated

Looks like a Homebrew error -- maybe. I don't use Homebrew. 

> Permission denied @ rb_file_s_symlink - (../../../Homebrew/completions/zsh/_brew, /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/_brew)

But this looks like an issue on your end. Are you sure you can write to /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions?

Contact the Homebrew package maintainer.

Otherwise, download Circos from http://circos.ca.
