When it comes to open source, cross platform mind mapping software, you may first think of FreeMind. Today, I’m going to introduce another mind map software that is also open source and cross platform, which is XMIND. As far as my trial is concerned, XMIND is no inferior to FreeMind in terms of function. In some aspects, XMIND has even more advantages.
XMIND is characterized by a variety of structural styles, not only map, but also org, tree, logic chart, fishbone, etc. At the same time, in XMIND, in addition to flexible customization of node appearance and insertion of icons, there are many styles and themes to choose from.
In terms of format support, you can import the file formats of FreeMind, MindManager and other software, including XMIND’s own format; the output supports text, image, HTML, etc.
The emphasis on sharing is another feature of XMIND. XMind.net The website itself is a platform for sharing mind maps. In XMIND, you can upload mind maps you want to share directly.
XMIND includes stand-alone version and plug-in version for eclipse. It can run on Linux (including 64 bit), Mac OS X and windows platforms.
Here’s how to install XMIND on CentOS
1. Log in XMIND official website and download DEB installation package: http://www.xmind.net/download/linux/
