With '''Deployment''' is meant the installation by someone or a group of people of kiwix on many computers. This can be kiwix or kiwix-serve, computers may have the same or different operatings systems ; hardware can also be non-homogenous. But within a deployment the content deployed is the same, this is more or less one version of Kiwix with the same pre-defined content. | With '''Deployment''' is meant the installation by someone or a group of people of kiwix on many computers.

== Introduction == | |||
Currently, a lot of things are already possible and that is why we have already successful deployments. The problem is that: | |||
# Not trivial to do | |||
# Not everything is possible | |||
If you want to deploy Kiwix, you need to prepare a "package with" : | |||
* Kiwix the software (for one or many HW & OSes) | |||
* Content, so the ZIM files | |||
* The full text search index | |||
* The library which links kiwix, content and index together. | |||
* Optionally a solution to install that (Windows installer, scripts, ...) | |||
Please read following pages to be familiar with the solution we already have to prepare such things: | |||
* [[Build a DVD/en|Directory structure for portable version of Kiwix (Windows)]] | |||
* [[Kiwix-manage|The command line tool to build libraries]] | |||
* [[FeedFormat|The XML library file format]] | |||
* [http://kiwix.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/kiwix/tools/scripts/buildDistributionFile.pl?content-type=text%2Fplain Old script used to build portable version of Kiwix (ZIP file) with content] like available at http://download.kiwix.org/portable/ | |||
