I second Kiwix. I found out about it not too long ago on the topic of portable Wikipedia readers. It really stands out as the best software part of such a solution.
I used kiwix Wikipedia for a Polish friend in the Uk who couldn’t afford reliable internet access and was using public library computers. I found the English edition with images was too large for him, but the Polish edition was fine. Ideally I’d have liked a simple update system (Git like?) which he could have run at the library occasionally.
Hi sorry for the delayed reply, yes I was military and in the early days of Iraq/Afghanistan we didn't have much access to the internet so I brought it with me.
Library or school in a remote village. There are computers (usually old computers), there might even be a LAN of some sort, but no internet (or very slow internet).
In those cases having local access to Wikipedia (and not necessarily just en; Kiwix has archives for all the languages) can be a great learning resource and reference.
