These CHM file or Microsoft Help file Viewrs are not standard in many Linux distributions so you have to install thny people have wasted lonts time searching for a good CHM file viewer for linux. Something does not show the fonts correctly, something may show the whole content etc etc, there seems to have lots of problems for this. But if you have options, its not a problem. So here I’m giving you options.You can try any of them and choose the best one suits you.

For GNOME users mainly there are 2 options.

1. GNOchm

You can get it using the commands:

sudo apt-get install gnochm

or

yum install gnochm

2.XChm

sudo apt-get install xchm

yum install xchm

For KDE users:

kchmviewer is the best option for You.

Get it by typing any of these commands in the terminal.

sudo apt-get install kchmviewer

or

yum install xchm

KDE users can also try Xchm.  It may work.
