But, because kiwix-serve is less developed as kiwix, both still work a little bit differently. [[Kiwix-serve]] does not work with libraries, we still do not have implemented that. To run kiwix-serve, you simply need to have a ZIM file and a fulltext search index in option. To build the fulltext search index, you need the kiwix-index binary which is trivial to use. Currently, kiwix-serve only runs on GNU/Linux. If you have a permission issue, please open a port over 1024, otherwise, you will need root permission to run it.
