**Includes updated articles on COVID-19 current as of <<date>> (see screenshot)**
|

|

This is **not** the UWP/Microsoft Store build. If you are using Windows 10, you may prefer to use [the WikiMed release for the Microsoft Store](https://kiwix.github.io/kiwix-js-windows/wikimed-uwp.html), which will keep itself up-to-date automatically. This portable version runs on the included [Electron platform](https://www.electronjs.org/) version 10.4.0. This build will run on 32bit and 64bit editions of Windows or Linux (tested on Ubuntu and Debian). The Windows build is not compatible with Windows XP or Windows Vista. If you need an app compatible with those old platforms, get [Kiwix JS Windows reader](https://kiwix.github.io/kiwix-js-windows/kiwix-js-nwjs.html) and download the latest WikiMed archive from within the app.

### Instructions:
|
||||
|
||||
* For the Windows Portable build, unzip the contents of the [Kiwix JS WikiMed <<base_tag>>.zip archive](https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-js-windows/releases/download/v<<base_tag>>-WikiMed/Kiwix.JS.WikiMed.<<base_tag>>.zip) to any folder, or to a flash drive / thumb drive, and double click on `Start Kiwix JS WikiMed` or `Start Kiwix JS WikiMed via batch file.bat`, or open the `kiwix-js-windows-win32-ia32` folder and double click on `kiwix-js-windows.exe`;
|
||||
* For the Windows Setup (installable) build, simply download and launch. It will install itself, together with a shortcut in your shortcut menu, and run. When you want to update the app, uninstall it from "Add or Remove Programs".
|
||||
* For the Linux builds (which are both portable), download and save the correct AppImage file anywhere (e.g. your Desktop), and double-click it. If it doesn't work, open Terminal and run `chmod a+x Kiwix.JS.WikiMed*.AppImage` and then `./Kiwix.JS.WikiMed*.AppImage`;
|
||||
* For the Windows Setup (installable) build, simply download and launch. It will install itself, together with a shortcut in your shortcut menu, and run. When you want to update the app, just install a new version over it (it will uninstall the old one for you);
|
||||
* For the Linux potable builds, download and save the correct AppImage file anywhere (e.g. your Desktop), and double-click it. If it doesn't work, open Terminal and run `chmod a+x Kiwix.JS.WikiMed*.AppImage` and then `./Kiwix.JS.WikiMed*.AppImage`;
|
||||
* For the Linux installable builds, download and save the correct Deb package, and open its directory in terminal. Then type `sudo apt install ./kiwix-js-wikimed_<<numeric_tag>>-E.*.deb`;
|
||||
* Windows: **Because the portable archive may not be commonly downloaded, you may face Windows SmartScreen issues** on first launch. Follow instructions to "Run anyway" if you trust this site. If you prefer, use the installable version [Kiwix JS WikiMed Setup <<numeric_tag>>-E.exe](https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-js-windows/releases/download/v<<base_tag>>-WikiMed/Kiwix.JS.WikiMed.Setup.<<numeric_tag>>-E.exe) which is digitally signed.
