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

Tested under Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) and 9.04 beta (Jaunty Jacalope). Currently, !FreeMind is at version 0.7.1 in the repositories. This is the recomended method of installing it:

sudo aptitude install freemind

Or, alternatively, use System -> Administration -> Synaptic or Applications -> Add/Remove. Note: A working alternative has been described by Arthur Penn .

Installing Newer Releases of Freemind

Version 0.7.1 included in the official repositories 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). New features in 0.8.x include Undo/Redo, moveable nodes, PDF export and a preferences pane. Version 0.9.x which is currently in beta testing introduces scripting support via 'Groovy', filters, attributes, a tabbed interface etc.

Install from .deb package

Tested on 8.04 (Hardy Heron), 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex), 9.04 beta (Jaunty Jacalope)

1. Go to freemind Download page.
2. Download the Debian package for 0.8.1.
3. Double click on the downloaded package and use Gdebi to install it.

From Alternative Respoitories

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.
