Install locally

There are two ways for having the website on a local server.

Zip archive

You can download the latest version directly on GitHub.

Easy updates with git

If you plan on updating regularly, you can use git :

git clone https://github.com/cheminfo/wikipedia.git

Then to update :

cd wikipedia
git pull

Build and serve the website

To build the site, Node.js v20 is needed.

npm ci
npm run build

This generates the website in the dist directory. It is a simple static site that can be served from any web server.

Data synchronization with Wikipedia

The dump directory contains the scripts used to synchronize the data files using the Wikipedia API. They are NOT needed for the website to work and can be ignored by most people.

npm ci
cd dump
./dump.sh
