Introduction

Freemind is a mind-mapping tool, that is already integrated with a lot of wiki stuff. !FreeMind is in the Ubuntu repositories by default, but it is version 0.7.1 from 2004. Newer versions fix bugs and introduce significant new functionality. Please also check the official FreeMind on Linux page, which contains much more details, FAQs and troubleshooting instructions.

Installing FreeMind from the Repository

This is the officially recommended method of installing !FreeMind. Navigate to System > Administration > Synaptic, under Settings > Repositories enable the multiverse repository. You now need to reload. Type freemind in the search box and select the checkbox next to freemind in the list. Apply your changes. Currently, !FreeMind is at version 0.7.1 for Ubuntu versions before 10.04 (Lucid Lynx). This version lacks significant functionality compared to the current version. There are open bugs related to this in bugs.launchpad.net (#182927) and in bugs.debian.org (#436206).

Install from .deb package

This method allows you to install newer versions of !FreeMind. First choose the correct .deb file:

  1. For !FreeMind version 0.8.1 you can download the package from the FreeMind Sourceforge download page. This method has been tested with Ubuntu versions 8.04 (Hardy Heron), 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) and 9.04 beta (Jaunty Jacalope).
  2. For !FreeMind version 0.9.0 you can download the package from Launchpad. This is the i386 package. For other architectures see the full list of published versions

Once you have downloaded the file, double click on it and it should install with Gdebi. Note: A working alternative method has been described by Arthur Penn .

From Alternative Repositories

Tested under Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) & Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn). The following does not work with Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron).

  1. Add the repository for Freemind:
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
  1. Add the following lines:
# freemind source
deb http://eric.lavar.de/comp/linux/debian/ experimental/
deb http://eric.lavar.de/comp/linux/debian/ ubuntu/
  1. Install from the repository:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install freemind

Or, alternatively, use System -> Administration -> Synaptic or Applications -> Add/Remove.

Starting Freemind

To start !FreeMind type the following commands in a terminal:

export '''JAVA_HOME'''=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.13/
export '''PATH'''=$'''PATH''':/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.13/bin/
freemind

To start it next time from terminal without setting vars

To start it next time from terminal without setting vars, in another terminal set JAVA related variables in the profile:

echo export '''JAVA_HOME'''=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.13/ >> ~/.bashrc
echo export '''PATH'''=$'''PATH''':/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.13/bin/ >> ~/.bashrc

The launcher for Freemind will appear under Applications -> Office.

Alternatives

There are some alternatives to Freemind like VYM:

sudo apt-get install vym

or like kdissert (requires KDE):

sudo apt-get install kdissert

But they are not compatible with Freemind maps, so if you already have Freemind maps, it is better to use Freemind. I have found Freemind most productive and usable due to its shortcuts.
