I am trying to use kiwix to server an offline wikipedia. I have got a 9.7G zim file wikipedia_en_all_nopic_01_2012_db.zim. To make search possible,



kiwix-index wikipedia_en_all_nopic_01_2012_db.zim wikipedia.idx


The official site just says it will take long time, but how long? Several hours, one day, a week? Have anybody done this before?



Processor: i7 4770
Platform: ubuntu 13.04

          I did it for a 100-MB zim file with Kiwix. it took about 10 minutes or so. my system performance was:
          RAM: 1 GB
          CPU: 1.6 GHz Intel Atom
          OS: Windows



          so with your system, for a 10-GB file, I guess it will take a couple of hours to finish.
