How to view .CHM files in Ubuntu

November 16th, 2007
It is easy to open and view Microsoft Compiled HTML Help files (.chm) from Ubuntu. You actually have at least two options: xchm or gnochm.

To install xchm run the following command:

sudo apt-get install xchm

To install gnochm run:

sudo apt-get install gnochm

To view a .chm file using xchm you just have to run:

xchm chm-file

Alternative to open it with gnochm simply run:

gnochm chm-file

Or you you can just double-click on the file's icon.
