Kiwix is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software free software], that means you can freely copy, modify and spread it.
First of all, download Kiwix reader with regards to the operating system you're using. The size is fewer than 22 megabytes and no installations is required. You should only extract it and then go to the next section and download a Zim file.

Kiwix is mostly installed in schools, universities and libraries which can afford a broadband Internet access. Kiwix being a lot faster than the Internet, it's also used by many institutions to save bandwidth and reader's time. But many people use Kiwix for their own private purpose. That's the case, for example, of persons suffering from censorship or prisoners.
'''Note:''' You can ignore this step if you are a Windows user and you want to download '''Portable Pre-indexed ZIM''' from the next section.

Kiwix is a pretty small and efficient software. You can perfectly use it with small or old computers. It runs on a big range of operating systems and on the three main PC operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OSX and GNU/Linux distributions.  
There are two kinds of downloads:
* '''Non-indexed ZIM''' contains only a ZIM file and you may want to [[Special:MyLanguage/ZIM Indexing|index]] it to be able to use the fulltext search.
* '''Portable pre-indexed ZIM''' contains Kiwix application ''only for Windows or Linux'' with an indexed ZIM file. So you should download the Kiwix reader from the previous section if you're not a Windows user. The ZIM file may be split into several 2 gigabytes parts to be compatible with FAT32 filesystems.
'''Note:''' The pre-indexed ZIM files could be copied in the different computers with Windows/Linux operating systems, Mac users may face some problems.

Kiwix is an offline reader for web content. It's a software especially intended to make Wikipedia available without internet, but it is potentially suitable for all HTML content. Kiwix supports the ZIM format, a highly compressed open format with additional meta-data.

Kiwix is a free software, that means you can freely copy, modify and spread it.

Kiwix is mostly installed in schools, universities and libraries which can afford a broadband Internet access. Kiwix being a lot faster than the Internet, it's also used by many institutions to save bandwidth and reader's time. But many people use Kiwix for their own private purpose. That's the case, for example, of persons suffering from censorship or prisoners.

Kiwix is really easy to use. It provides a range of features which make the usage comfortable:

  • Full text search engine
  • Bookmarks & Notes
  • HTTP server
  • PDF/HTML export
  • User interface in more than 80 languages
  • Tabs navigation
  • Integrated content manager and downloader
  • More features...

Kiwix is a pretty small and efficient software. You can perfectly use it with small or old computers. It runs on a big range of operating systems and on the three main PC operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OSX and GNU/Linux distributions.
