VYM - View Your Mind (c) 2004-2025 by Uwe Drechsel
==================================================
About
-----
VYM is a mind mapping application. You can use it to visualize your
thoughts in tree-like structures. It is also useful for time management,
self-organization and sorting through new ideas and complex contexts.
VYM includes a powerful personal task manager, which allows to adjust
priorities or reminds you after easily defined time spans.
You can use the scripting capabilities for interesting presentations.
VYM can also retrieve data from the Jira issue tracking system and
talk to the Confluence documentation system.
VYM runs on Apple and Windows and of course most Linux platforms.

The official downloads for all platforms are available at the project
site:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/vym/
The latest development drops for all platforms can be found there in the
folder Files->Development.
The latest binaries for Linux, Debian and Ubuntu are built and available
in the authors Open Build Service project:
https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Ainsilmaril&package=vym
Source code
-----------
The source code was hosted on Sourceforge for 16 years, but in

https://github.com/insilmaril/vym
Installation
------------
* Binaries
Binaries for all major platforms can be found on:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/vym/
Packages there are: openSUSE rpm, Ubuntu deb, Apple dmg, Windows exe
More Linux like packages and developer versions are built in
Open Build Service:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:insilmaril/vym
* Compiling
Compiling vym from scratch is pretty easy, if you have the
development packages of the Qt6 toolkit installed. (Check also the
homepage above for details):
On the command line you can
cmake .
make
make install
or using Qt Creator (recommended on Mac and Windows):
In "File" do "Open file or project" and select the
"CMakeLists.txt". This will setup the project.
For testing you probably need to tell vym where to find various
files like macros, demos, etc. On the commandline you can do this
with the "-l" option. Using Qt Creator you can add a variable
VYMHOME to the execution environment pointing to your path to vym
sources.
