The latest stable release of FreeMind is 0.9.0. Downloading and installation instructions are given below.
Installing FreeMind
FreeMind is written in Java, so it will run on almost any system with a Java runtime environment.
In order to make things easier for you, we've prepared installers for the most common desktop environments: Windows, Linux and Macintosh OS X. You may choose a minimum install that gives you only the basic FreeMind package or a maximum install, which includes plugins for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), Portable Document Format (PDF), reminders and help files.
System requirements
| Java Runtime Environment 1.4 or later. You can find a FreeMind installer including java here or download Sun's Java from here. |
- About 13 MB of Hard Disk space for the full version, including all the plug-ins.
- At least 512 MB of Memory. More memory is better, especially if you will be creating large mind maps.
Step-by-step overview
