Kiwix seems to be the easiest to setup and run, with pre-packaged content available for download.<br /> <br /> <br /> === Kiwix ===<br /> <br /> The [http://www.kiwix.org Kiwix Project] uses highly compressed ZIM files to provide offline multimedia (e.g. HTML, images, etc.) content. For single computer installations, Kiwix also provides a native reader application that can open, index, search, and display the contents of the ZIM file.<br /> <br /> Kiwix also includes a kiwix-serve component, which is an implementation of an HTTP server that will make the ZIM content available to web browsers. kiwix-index creates an index of the content in the ZIM file to enable searching.<br /> <br /> ==== Setup Steps ====<br /> These are general steps to follow to implement kiwix-serve, serving Wikipedia content via HTTP:<br /> <br /> # [http://www.kiwix.org Download Kiwix] - available for Linux distributions as well as Windows<br /> # [http://www.kiwix.org Download one or more ZIM files]<br /> # Create an index file using kiwix-index binary<br /> # Start kiwix-serve, with command line options that point to ZIM and index files<br /> # Verify that kiwix-serve is listening on the specified port; connect with a web browser<br /> # Stop kiwix-serve, and configure an [http://upstart.ubuntu.org Upstart] script to enable it to run at boot time<br /> <br /> There are a few shell scripts available to help compile the index files and start kiwix-serve.</div>
