English Wikipedia has a lot of data. There are 16.0+ million pages with 22.0+ GB of text, as well as 4.25+ million thumbnails.
- Setting all this up on your computer will not be a quick process. As a general estimate, you will need about 30 GB and 5 hours processing time. If you want images as well, the numbers increase to 100 GB of disk space and 30+ hours of processing time. However, when you are done, you will have a complete, recent copy of English Wikipedia with images that can fit on a 128 GB SD card.

However, when you are done, you will have a complete, recent copy of English Wikipedia with images that can fit on a 128 GB SD card.
Although the process itself is not hard, I strongly recommend that you try Simple Wikipedia first. Simple Wikipedia has 180,000 pages and 90,000 images. The text version uses 200 MB and sets up in 5 minutes. With images, this expands to 2 GB and 30 minutes of downloading time. Simple Wikipedia is a reasonably accurate simulation of English Wikipedia -- just much smaller. It'll also give you a pretty good idea of what XOWA can do.

Wikipedia is constantly updating. New pages are added, and existing pages are changed to include different images. The above steps will give you a complete set of images for 2015-04-03. However, if you want to stay up to date with Wikipedia, then you may also want to download the monthly updates.

Note that if you update your wiki, you do not have to update the images. The two are independent of each other. In other words, you can use the 2017-01-01 English Wikipedia xml dump with the 2015-04-03 English Wikipedia images. Note that new images in the 2017-01-01 dump will not show up until you download the appropriate monthly updates.
