Kiwix wikia4/29/2023 ![]() While the first activity most people associate with Africa is safaris, there are endless possibilities for adventure. Lake Assal in Djibouti is the second-lowest point on Earth, the saltiest lake outside Antarctica, and one of the hottest places on Earth. Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania is the world's tallest free-standing mountain at 5,890 m (19,340 ft). The Congo River in the DR Congo is the second largest in terms of discharge, and the deepest with a depth of over 230 m (750 ft) in some spots. Giraffes in Maasai Mara National Park in KenyaĪfrica's Nile River is claimed by some to be the longest river in the world (other geographers argue that the Amazon is longer) the Nile runs 6,650 km (over 4,100 mi) from Burundi to Egypt. 4.3.1 European influence and development aid.4.1.6 Decolonisation and the legacy of the colonisers.4.1.4 European exploration and early colonialism.4.1.1 From the dawn of humanity to the first empires.If you assume they’re all UTF-8 (4 bytes per character), it would still only max out at 214.8 GB. If you assume these to be all ASCII characters (1 byte per character), that’s only about 53.7 GB. If you multiply 11 billion words by an average length of 5 characters, you’d only get 55 billion characters. It’s unlikely that 11 billion words would use 1 petabyte of space (much less an exabyte). ![]() (current revision only no history no images). I would venture a guess that the total disk size of all these wikis is about 100 GB. Since these are the largest wikis, I’d say that it probably covers around 7 billion of those 11 billion words. The 11 billion words statistic doesn’t refer to **English Wikipedia** but to all the **combined Wikipedias**: English Wikipedia French Wikipedia German Wikipedia etc… Kiwix offers about 40 Wikipedias out of roughly 123 total Wikipedias. This 10 GB should be the complete text of English Wikipedia from January 2012. As Martin points out, the 10 GB is packed data. Kiwix does download all of English Wikipedia. You are asked if you want to check out the newest libraries available when you first run the program, and you should, as you get a large list of Wikipedia-related libraries displayed to you then that you can download to your system. ![]() This is just the program interface and backend though. It is a lightweight software / application that you can use to download Wikipedia contents to it so that you can browse those contents at anytime, even when you are offline.Īs far as the PC version is concerned: you download the latest version of Kiwix from the official project website and extract it afterwards on your system. Kiwix is a portable solution for desktop systems, like Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, and also for Android-based devices. Storage space has increased on mobile devices today so that it is no longer a big issue to download two or three Gigabyte of data to the device.Īs far as PCs are concerned, this was never really that much of an issue unless you are running a PC with a single Solid State Drive that has 128 Gigabytes or less of space. Back in the days when the first offline solutions for Wikipedia were introduced, you often did not have enough space on your mobile device to really add a larger section of the site on it.
