# Installing FreeGuide on Windows

### Get Java

Before you do anything else, you will need the Java 2 Runtime Environment version 1.6 or above: You can check this by typing java -version in a DOS or Cmd window. Ask on the FreeGuide Users' mailing list (see the Contact Us page) if you have trouble installing Java.

### Get FreeGuide

Now, to get FreeGuide, go to the sourceforge download page and pick the file like this: "freeguide-x.x.x-with-xmltv-win32.exe" with the highest version number to get the windows installer.

NOTE: you almost certainly want the "with-xmltv" version, unless you know you don't need XMLTV.

The only thing you need to do after downloading the file is double-clicking on the .exe file and following the installation instructions. After the installation, you will find a FreeGuide icon in your start menu.

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 Windows.
