Alex is right. The Zim is platform independent. About Kiwix, I have it and I don't think it is platform dependent. My computer supports 64 bit and previously, I had a 64 bit OS and recently I formatted and changed to 32 bit OS. The Kiwix I used to have still works here. What is more, it doesn't require installation, just copying the files to a folder in Drive C and running the .exe file. Isaac, simply go to http://www.kiwix.org/index.php/Download and on that page select your operating system (Windows 32, Linux, OSX etc). In your case I believe you are using windows so select Windows 32. Your download should start shortly after you click. Kind Regards

How do I go about in downloading that? Kindly give me all the procedures keeping in mind that being an agribusiness student I have the basic internet skills not much of a wizard.

The zim (2.5 GB) file is platform independent as in the same file that works on 32 bit also works on 64 bit.
Kiwix the application on the other hand is which varies as per platform, however, it's only around 10 MB so I think you can download this and have the zim file sent over.
Alex.
