How to read creative CHM files on Linux

 

Hello,

 

I found an application for you, it's not GUI based but it will do the work.  Open Terminal and enter this command:

 

– for GNOME 

 

 sudo apt-get install gnochm

 

– to use it enter this: gnochm your-file.chm

 

– for KDE

 

 sudo apt-get install kchmviewer

 

– to use it enter this: kchmviewer your-file.chm

 

I hope I helped.

 

 

Regards.

How to read creative CHM files on Linux

To open .chm files on Linux, use the "CHMSee" program which you can get by clicking this link and choosing the appropriate package, depending on your architecture.

Install it using sudo dbpg -i [filename]

There is also a web browser CHMSee plugin available, but it does not support anything other than Firefox 3.6.
