- 1 - Why is Kiwix not available for PPC Macs?
- We do not have a PPC architectured Mac and this architecture is outdated.
- 2 - Is there a version for Windows?
- We currently have a Windows version in testing.
- 3 - Where can I find new content?
- Kiwix uses the ZIM format which was created in February 2009. For this reason only a few content files are currently available. But we are working on selections of articles from the main Wikipedias and stable versions should be released during the next months. You can also test the development releases available here.
- 4 - Is it possible to update a ZIM file?
- It is not possible to update a ZIM file itself, but you may download a new ZIM file with updated versions of the contents.
- 5 - How can I build by myself a ZIM file?
- To export articles from Wikipédia please go to this page. For any other use case, this is unfortunately still too complicated. Please read this page for more technical informations.
- 6 - How may I optimize the search engine index?
- Just run the script "./kiwix-compact" (or run the "kiwix-compact" command if installed from Ubuntu-PPA) and it will do the job automatically for you (should reduce disk use by almost 50%)
