Re: [Kiwix-developer] Any preferrably java libraries, tutorials, ... about working with zim files? ...
I could not find the zim-tools utility on the debian repository:
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=zim-tools
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=zim
and I can't use git since I do not connect my work computer to the Internet.
Is there a debian package or tar ball somewhere which could be
installed locally?
Thanks
