==Installing FreeMind==<br />
<br />
FreeMind is written in Java, so it will run on almost any system, as long as that system has a Java runtime environment.<br />
<br />
In order to make things easier for you, we've prepared installers for the most common desktop environments: Windows, Linux and Macintosh OS X. These installers come in two sizes, a minimum install that gives you only the basic FreeMind package, and a maximum install, which includes plugins for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), Portable Document Format (PDF), reminders, and help files.<br />
<br />
===System requirements===<br />
<br />
*Java Runtime Environment 1.4 or 1.5; not 1.6 in version FreeMind 0.8.0.<br />
* You can find the latest version of Java [http://java.com/download/ on Sun's site].<br />
**NOTE: 0.8.0 has some bugs when run with Java 1.6, You can download the older version [http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp Java Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 14] (you need the JRE, not the JDK). However, this link may not work, even after LogIn to sun.com.<br />
* About 13MB of Hard Disk space for the full version, including all the plug-ins.<br />
* At least 512MB of Memory. More memory is better, especially if you will be creating large mind maps.<br />
** Version 0.7.1 runs fine on as few as 128MB of Memory.<br />
<br />
