This page details the recommended environment for running XOWA.

<span class="mw-headline" id="Machine">Machine</span>
</h2>
<p>
For building wikis, XOWA works best on a recent-generation machine. For building English Wikipedia, XOWA works best with high-performance hardware.
</p>
<p>
As a data point, here is my current machine setup:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Processor: Intel Core i7-4770K; 3.5 GHz with 8 MB L3 cache
</li>
<li>
Memory: 16 GB DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
</li>
<li>
Hard Drive: 1 TB SSD SATA III
</li>
<li>
Internet bandwidth: 28.0 Mbps
</li>
<li>
Operating System: openSUSE 13.2
</li>
</ul>
<p>
(Note: The hardware was assembled in late 2013 for about $1,600 US dollars.)
</p>
<p>
For English Wikipedia, it takes about:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
4 hours to download the dumps
</li>
<li>
2 hours to build the wiki
</li>
<li>
70 hours to parse 11+ million pages in the wikis and
<ol>
<li>
identify required images
</li>
<li>
generate the HTML dumps
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>
2 hours for post-processing steps
</li>
</ol>
<p>
Note that most users will only need to do steps 1 and 2. Steps 3 and 4 are only for those who want to generate HTML dumps / image updates on their own.
