Requirements

Look at requirements for per-platform details.

Should I be admin/root to run it?

• On Windows, you need to be admin to run it.
• On macOS and Linux, you don't need privileges to run it, unless you want to write directly to an SD-card (instead of just creating an image file). You will be prompted right after the beginning of the process (to chmod the device).

Sizes

Two types of sizes are in use:

• SD-card or Image file sizes. Those are defined in GB (decimal) to match those of marketed SD-card's. If you want to build for a 64G SD-card, enter 64 in the File image size input.
• Contents sizes (projects, static contents) and Free space. Those are defined in GiB (binary) which is the most common format for file sizes.

What are EduPi Resources ?

EduPi is a content-sharing tool which allows an administrator to share files organized in folders to all the Plug users. All contents can be downloaded and contents such as Images, PDF Documents and Videos can be viewed directly online.

You can skip the content loading task by providing Kiwix-plug installer a ZIP archive of the documents you want to share. A few constraints apply:

• Your archive should be a regular ZIP file.
• Your documents tree must be contained in a single folder at the root of the archive.
• All your files must have ExFat-compatible file names. That is should not include the following characters: /, \, :, *, ?, ", >, <, |.
