Mind maps are a great way to visualize and organize information. They help make it easier to understand complex concepts and ideas, and they can be used for anything from brainstorming to planning a project. Unfortunately, there are not many tools available to create mind maps within the Linux terminal. Fortunately, there is a tool called h-m-m (Hackers Mind Map) that can be used to create mind maps within the Linux terminal. Here at Ibmi Media, we will learn how to install and use h-m-m to create mind maps within the Linux terminal.
