The database dumps are frequently updated and include every single article that’s available on the main Wikipedia website.
xml.bz2 files that you can easily open on your computer using the free and portable WikiTaxi software.

#WIKITAXI VS KIWIX INSTALL#
You need to install the Kiwix software on your computer and then download one of the Wikipedia editions – the articles are packaged as. zim files that will open directly inside Kiwix without requiring any conversion. zim package for various editions of Wikipedia can be downloaded from using any download manager or you can use this. torrent file to download using any BitTorrent client. This is 9.7 GB file and includes all the text of Wikipedia pages but no images. Kiwix is definitely easier to use than WikiTaxi and the packaged. zim files can read across all popular platforms but the downside is that, unlike the database dumps used by WikiTaxi, the. zim files aren’t very frequently updated. Also, the zim package for English Wikipedia doesn’t include every article though the packages for other languages are complete*.
