Command-line options
Call freeplane like this:
freeplane [options] [file1 [file2 ...]]
- -h|--help: list available options
- -X<menukey>: execute menu item with key <menukey>. Use devtools add-on to find the menu keys
- -S: stop after executing menu items
- -N: set the 'nonInteractive' system property to 'true'
- -U<userdir>: set the freeplane user config directory (only since version 1.3.3!!!)
Batch execution of menu items (e.g. scripts) is described in a special wiki article.
Debug start script under Linux
Start Freeplane in debug mode (if you have problems starting):
DEBUG=true freeplane.sh
Environment variables
Select Java installation used to run Freeplane
The following variables are tried in order:
- FREEPLANE_JAVA_HOME
- JAVA_HOME (not on Windows OS)
For windows, set one of these variables and run freeplane.exe or freeplaneConsole.exe:
FREEPLANE_JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_131
or, under Linux/UNIX:
FREEPLANE_JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/ ./freeplane.sh
Freeplane requires Java between Java 8 and Java 15 because Java 16 is not compatible with current Groovy Engine.
Use of Java 16 can be permitted only on Linux by setting variable FREEPLANE_USE_UNSUPPORTED_JAVA_VERSION to 1.
JAVA_OPTS
Set Java Properties, e.g. set the freeplane user config directory in Freeplane < 1.3.3:
JAVA_OPTS=-Dorg.freeplane.userfpdir=$HOME/blabla freeplane.sh
