Download and install FreeGuide on Linux

Before you start

To use FreeGuide on Linux you need Java and XMLTV.

You will need the Java 2 Runtime Environment version 1.6 or above: You can check this by typing java -version in a terminal. (If you've installed the new version of Java but "java -version" still says the old one, you need to look at putting the new version of java in your PATH. Ask on the FreeGuide Users' mailing list (see the ContactUs page) if you have trouble installing Java.

There are instructions on how to install Java in the pages for each distribution.
