Installing FreeGuide on Ubuntu

In recent versions of Ubuntu, search for the "freeguide" package in the Ubuntu Software Centre (if you can't find it, go to the "Edit" menu, choose "Software Sources" and ensure "Community maintained Open Source software (universe)" is checked).

Alternatively, you can type at a terminal:

sudo apt-get install freeguide

After installing, you can run FreeGuide by choosing it from the menu (under "Sound and Video") or alternatively by typing into a terminal:

freeguide

You'll now need to answer a few questions, and then you're ready to go.

If you use a proxy server (if you don't know, you probably don't), you'll need to read this page: Configure Proxy On Linux.

Get the very latest

If you'd like to download the very latest version of FreeGuide instead of using the one packaged by your distribution (not recommended), you can download various packages from the sourceforge download page.
