indywikia is a great tool to browse through Wikipedia. But instead of reading through a plenthora of text one can discover Wikipedia visually. Its easy to integrate it in a GNU/Linux KDE desktop. Just make sure
-
Python and
PyQt4
are installed. Download the latest package from the indywikia project site and place the unpacked folder somewhere on your computer. I have chosen to place it as a hidden folder in my home directory (/home/YOUR_USERNAME/.indywikia/).
To call it from K-menu just create a new entry. In my case I put it the section “Internet”.
The corresponding “command” is:
/usr/bin/python /home/YOUR_USERNAME/.indywikia/indywikia.py
To use the icon in the indywikia folder you need to convert them. I quickly did this by “convert“
cd /home/YOUR_USERNAME/.indywikia/
convert icon.jpg icon.png
from imagemagick but any other tool should also do the trick.
