Freeplane 1.2.x

Installation

Install beta version

A beta version is a complete version of Freeplane with all new functionality of the coming new stable version and which is being installed in the same way as the stable version, with a set-up file which will automatically install Java too. Go to beta version 1.2.x, download the Freeplane-SetupXXX and execute this file. For non-windows operating systems, see Category:System.

Install last preview version

A preview version contains new functionality the programmers are still working on. Installing a preview version supposes that you have Java installed on your computer. Go to preview and download Freeplane_bin-XXXX.zip, in which XXXX is a shown version number. Unpack the zip file, at any place you want. If your intention is to only test the new version: In Windows click freeplane.exe; you could also connect freeplane.exe to the task bar. If you want the new version to automatically start if you click on any mind map, just overwrite the directories of the older version with those of the newer version. For other operating systems, see Category:System.
