Xowa

xowa is a desktop application that can read Wikimedia Foundation wikis offline.

Installation
XOWA is a desktop Java application and has its own installation requirements.

To install the binaries, see the README.md file at https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa

To install from source, do the following:


 * Download the latest source from the Git repository at https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/archive/master.zip
 * Unpack the archive on your hard drive.
 * When you're done, you should have a directory called xowa/ (containing sub directories such as "400_xowa", and many others.)
 * You may want to move this directory to your home directory, or some other appropiate location.
 * Load the project in Eclipse
 * Do "File -> Switch Workspace" to /where/you/moved/xowa/
 * Select all projects and do "File -> Refresh"
 * (workaround for v0.8.3) Eclipse will report build path problems.
 * Create an empty folder for xowa/110_gfml/xtn
 * Select all projects and do "File -> Refresh" again
 * The project should now compile
 * Setup the application
 * Xowa uses files that are present in the binaries only (xowa.gfs; image files). These will be added to GitHub in the future.
 * For now, setup the application
 * Download the right release for you (e.g. "xowa_app_linux_v4" on Linux) from https://github.com/gnosygnu/xowa/releases
 * Unzip to '/where/you/have/xowa/ '. When you are done you should have a file called  in there, as well as many others.
 * Run the source in Eclipse
 * Go to Run -> Debug Configurations -> Xowa_main -> Program Arguments
 * Add an argument for "--root_dir /home/your_user_name/xowa/"
 * Click on Debug

Xowa should now work.
