1. install graphviz
Download the corresponding platform installation package at http://www.graphviz.org/download..php;
I use centos, so yum is the most convenient for installation.
Wget http://www.graphviz.org/graphviz-rhel.repo/etc/yum. repos. d/graphviz-rhel.repo
Yum install graphviz
2. perform a test after installation.
Echo "digraph G {Hello-> World}" | dot-Tpng> hello.png

First, use the program to generate/tmp/domain.txt, and then use the dot command to generate an image.
