# Installing FreeGuide on Debian

### Get Java

You will need OpenJDK/IcedTea or Sun's version of Java.

### Get XMLTV

First, you will need the latest version of XMLTV which you can get by typing:

`apt-get install xmltv`

logged in as root.

### Get FreeGuide

The latest version of FreeGuide is usually in "unstable", but there are decent versions in "testing" and "stable" too. Unstall it like so:

`apt-get install freeguide`

[If you need to get the package manually, download and install it from from http://packages.debian.org/freeguide.]

You can now run FreeGuide by choosing it from the menu 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.
