Logiciel
Kiwix vous permet de bénéficier de nombreux types de contenus différents ; le tout hors-ligne, sans accéder à Internet. Kiwix est avant tout une une application de bureau, mais nous proposons aussi une version appelée kiwix-serve qui fonctionne comme un serveur HTTP. Mais, avant de pouvoir profiter de Kiwix, vous devez choisir la version qui correspond à votre système d'exploitation. Ensuite, une fois Kiwix lancé, vous pourrez aller dans la bibliothèque, choisir le contenu souhaité et lancer le téléchargement.

Autres systèmes
Kiwix can run on almost every operating system. But, we don't provide pre-compiled binaries for all of them. If you are interested in running Kiwix on an operating system for which we don't provide binaries, you will need to download Kiwix source code and compile Kiwix on your own.
