# Offline Knowledge Bases
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are several offline repositories that are made freely available
|
||
|
|
using a `.zim` file. Depending on the resource, they can be quite large.
|
||
|
|
EmComm Tools Community includes an offline reader called "Kiwix" for
|
||
|
|
searching and reading these resources offline.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Visit: http://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. To save space when building your image, consider some of the smaller
|
||
|
|
Wikipedia topic areas, such as:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `wikipedia_en_computer_nopic_YYYY-MM.zim`
|
||
|
|
* `wikipedia_en_history_nopic_YYYY-MM.zim`
|
||
|
|
* `wikipedia_en_mathematics_nopic_YYYY-MM.zim`
|
||
|
|
* `wikipedia_en_medicine_nopic_2024-04.zim`
|
||
|
|
* `wikipedia_en_simple_all_nopic_YYYY-MM.zim`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The full Wikipedia export without images is 56 GB. This file is better
|
||
|
|
stored separately and excluded from the ETC ISO build image.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Copy these `.zim` file to `/etc/skel/wikipedia` during the image build.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Other high-value offline exports to look into are available at:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* https://download.kiwix.org/zim/ifixit/
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. Run `kiwix` after a fresh installation. Your .zim files will
|
||
|
|
be available in your home directory in the `wikipedia` folder.
