78.52.26.158: /* Dumps */

Evopedia is an offline Wikipedia viewer. It allows to search for articles based on their title or the geographic location on a map. If you are online, even images are displayed.

Apart from the software you also need to download a specially prepared dump of the articles available here.

== Dumps ==

Dumping Wikipedia is a very time-consuming task. Please be patient or help creating the dumps.

Please report if you find errors in the dumps.

'''New dumps:'''

== Dump Installation ==

Extract one (or more) of the .zip-Files to your device and select it from within evopedia. The dump that is used can be changed using the (second) link at the top-left of the search screen.

== Creating a Wikipedia Dump ==

Creating a Wikipedia dump is unfortunately a rather lengthy process (some days). If you have any suggestions for speeding it up, please step forward. Concerning space, 20 GB should be enough for creating the dump.

==== 1. install needed software (please add packages if I forgot some): ====

apt-get install php5-cli python mysql-server mysql-client wget zip tidy git

for ubuntu i needed to use the following command as well:<br>
apt-get install php5-mysql

==== 2. download evopedia source code ====

git clone git://github.com/crei/evopedia.git

==== 3. adjust settings ====

set php's memory_limit to some higher value (128 MB) in /etc/php5/cli/php.ini (or similar)

create empty mysql database

edit paths and database settings in dumpscripts/createdump.sh

change the dump language (bottom of dumpscripts/createdump.sh)
