Install Kiwix

Compilation

Download a ZIM file

They are currently only a few ZIM files availables. The Kiwix project are often releasing new ones, please have a look there. The openZIM project maintains a list of ZIM sources there.

Index the ZIM file

kiwix-index [--verbose|-v] [--backend|--b=xapian|clucene] [ZIM_PATH] [INDEX_PATH]

Run kiwix-serve

kiwix-serve [--port=PORT] [--index=INDEX_PATH] [--verbose] [--daemon] ZIM_PATH

You can also run kiwix-serve without index, but in this case you won't have access to the search engine.
