In this tutorial you are going to learn what is a Djvu file and how you can open this on your computer.

Step # 1 -- What is the File Type

A Djvu file is essentially a way of storing document that contain text and images, it should be seen as an alternative to the PDF format. As you can see here we have this sort of file and Windows has not associated a program with it. Djvu files are less widely used than PDFs so in order to view this file type you are going to need to download a free program. You need to go to "sourceforge.net/projects/windjview/files"; and click the "Download WinDjView" link at the top of the page.

Step # 2 -- Installing and Launching the Program

You will be taken to another page and the download will begin automatically. Once the file has finished downloading to your computer click on it. Click "Run" in the dialog box that appears. The installer will run, click "Next" twice and then "Install". When the install has finished click "Next" and then "Finish". The program will automatically launch and click "Close" in the dialog box that appears.

Step # 3 -- Opening the Djvu File

Now when we go back to the folder containing out Djvu file we can see that it has been associated with a program -- double click on it to open the file and you will see that it opens in our newly downloaded program. That's it really, you now know what is a Djvu file and how you can open it on a Windows computer.
