Kiwix provides two different technical solutions: | |||
* "kiwix", a desktop application, | |||
* "kiwix-serve". a HTTP daemon application. | |||
== Kiwix Desktop == | == Kiwix Desktop == | ||
"Kiwix" is a desktop application you may install on any computer with a screen. It runs on Windows, OSX and Linux. This software provides a lot of features (bookmarks, content manager, ...) and is the most common used software. | |||
== Kiwix Server == | == Kiwix Server == | ||
Kiwix server (the binary is called kiwix-serve) is an HTTP daemon. That means you run on computer (which could be without screen, like a server) an each other computer (called client) may access to the content served by kiwix-serve through the network. Client should only start a Web browser, type the name or ip of the server to access to the content. Kiwix server does not provide all the feature of the Kiwix desktop application but simple reading and fulltext search feature are possible. Currently kiwix-serve only runs on Linux, but we will port it soon to Windows and Mac. | |||
