+# Installation
+
+## Python Environment
+
+`MediaWiki Dump Generator` requires [Python 3.8](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-380/) or later (less than 4.0), but you may be able to get it run with earlier versions of Python 3. On recent versions of Linux and macOS Python 3.8 should come preinstalled, but on Windows you will need to install it from [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-380/).
+
+`MediaWiki Dump Generator` has been tested on Linux, macOS, Windows and Android. If you are connecting to Linux or macOS via `ssh`, you can continue using the `bash` or `zsh` command prompt in the same terminal, but if you are starting in a desktop environment and don't already have a preferred Terminal environment you can try one of the following.
+
+> **NOTE:** You may need to update and pre-install dependencies in order for `MediaWiki Dump Generator` to work properly. Shell commands for these dependencies appear below each item in the list. (Also note that while installing and running `MediaWiki Dump Generator` itself should not require administrative priviliges, installing dependencies usually will.)
+
+* On desktop Linux you can use the default terminal application such as [Konsole](https://konsole.kde.org/) or [GNOME Terminal](https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-terminal/stable/).
+
+  <details>
+  <summary>Linux Dependencies</summary>
+
+  While most Linux distributions will have Python 3 preinstalled, if you are cloning `MediaWiki Dump Generator` rather than downloading it directly you may need to install `git`.
+
+  On Debian, Ubuntu, and the like:
+
+  ```bash
+  sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo install git
+  ```
+
+  (On Fedora, Arch, etc., use `dnf`, `pacman`, etc., instead.)
+
+  </details>
+
+* On macOS you can use the built-in application [Terminal](https://support.apple.com/guide/terminal), which is found in `Applications/Utilities`.
+
+  <details>
+  <summary>macOS Dependencies</summary>
+
+  While macOS will have Python 3 preinstalled, if you are cloning `MediaWiki Dump Generator` rather than downloading it directly and you are using an older versions of macOS, you may need to install `git`.
+
+  If `git` is not preinstalled, however, macOS will prompt you to install it the first time you run the command. Therefore, to check whether you have `git` installed or to install `git`, simply run `git` (with no arguments) in Terminal:
+
+  ```bash
+  git
+  ```
+
+  If `git` is already installed, it will print its usage instructions. If `git` is not preinstalled, the command will pop up a window asking if you want to install Apple's command line developer tools, and clicking "Install" in the popup window will install `git`.
+
+  </details>
+
+* On Windows 10 or Windows 11 you can use [Windows Terminal](https://aka.ms/terminal).
+
+  <details>
+  <summary>Windows Dependencies</summary>
+
+  The latest version of Python is available from [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/). Python will then be available from any Command Prompt or PowerShell session. Optionally, adding C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin to the PATH environment variable will add some some useful Linux commands and utilities to Command Prompt.
+
+  If you are already using the [Windows Subsystem for Linux](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/about), you can follow the Linux instructions above. If you don't want to install a full WSL distribution, [Git for Windows](https://gitforwindows.org/) provides Bash emulation, so you can use it as a more lightweight option instead. Git Bash also provides some useful Linux commands and utilities.
+
+  > When installing [Python 3.8](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-380/) (from python.org), be sure to check "Add Python to PATH" so that installed Python scripts are accessible from any location. If for some reason installed Python scripts, e.g. `pip`, are not available from any location, you can add Python to the `PATH` environment variable using the instructions [here](https://datatofish.com/add-python-to-windows-path/).
+  >
+  > And while doing so should not be necessary if you follow the instructions further down and install `MediaWiki Dump Generator` using `pip`, if you'd prefer that Windows store installed Python scripts somewhere other than the default Python folder under `%appdata%`, you can also add your preferred alternative path such as `C:\Program Files\Python3\Scripts\` or a subfolder of `My Documents`. (You will need to restart any terminal sessions in order for this to take effect.)
+
+  Whenever you'd like to run a Bash session, you can open a Bash terminal prompt from any folder in Windows Explorer by right-clicking and choosing the option from the context menu. (For some purposes you may wish to run Bash as an administrator.) This way you can open a Bash prompt and clone the `MediaWiki Dump Generator` repository in one location, and subsequently or later open another Bash prompt and run `MediaWiki Dump Generator` to dump a wiki wherever else you'd like without having to browse to the directory manually using Bash.
+
+  </details>
+
+* On Android you can use [Termux](https://termux.dev).
+
+  <details>
+  <summary>Termux Dependencies</summary>
+
+  ```bash
+  pkg update && pkg upgrade && pkg install git libxslt python
+  ```
+
+  </details>
+
+* On iOS you can use [iSH](https://ish.app/).
+
+  <details>
+  <summary>iSH Dependencies</summary>
+
+  ```bash
+  apk update && apk upgrade && apk add git py3-pip
+  ```
+
+  > **Note:** iSH may automatically quit if your iOS device goes to sleep, and it may lose its status if you switch to another app. You can disable auto-sleep while iSH is running by clicking the gear icon and toggling "Disable Screen Dimming". (You may wish to connect your device to a charger while running iSH.)

+# Publishing the dump
+
+Publishing your dumps to the [Internet Archive's wikiteam collection](https://archive.org/details/wikiteam) is easily done. First [sign up](https://archive.org/account/signup) or [login](http://archive.org/account/login.php).
+
+## Launcher and uploader
+
+Instructions on using the scripts `launcher` and `uploader` are in the file [Usage](./USAGE.md).
+
+## Automatic publishing
+
+Just use `uploader` (especially if you have multiple wikis): the script takes the filename of a list of wikis as argument and uploads their dumps to archive.org. You only need to:
+
+- Check the 7z compressed dumps are in the same directory as `listfile`. The file `listfile` contains a list of the api.php URLs of the wikis to upload, one per line.
+- [Retrieve your S3 keys](http://www.archive.org/account/s3.php), save them one per line (in the order provided) in a keys.txt file in same directory as `uploader`.
+- Run the script `uploader listfile`.
+
+## Manual publishing
+
+- After running dumpgenerator, in each dump folder, select all files, right-click on the selection, click 7-Zip, click `Add to archive...` and click OK.
+- At Archive.org, for each wiki [create a new item](http://archive.org/create/).
+- Click `Upload files`. Then either drag and drop the 7-Zip archive onto the box or click `Choose files` and select the 7-Zip archive.
+- `Page Title` and `Page URL` will be filled in by the uploader.
+- Add a short `Description`, such as a descriptive name fopr the wiki.
+- Add `Subject Tags`, separated by commas, these are the keywords that will help the archive to show up in a Internet Archive search, e.g. wikiteam,wiki,subjects of the wiki, and so on.
+- `Creator`, can be left blank.
+- `Date`, can be left blank.
+- `Collection`, select `Community texts`.
+- `Language`, select the language of the wiki.
+- `License`, click to expand and select Creative Commons, Allow Remixing, Require Share-Alike for a CC-BY-SA licence.
+- Click `Upload and Create Your Item`.
+
+With the subject tag of wikiteam and collection of community texts, your uploads should appear in a search for [subject:"wikiteam" AND collection:opensource](https://archive.org/search?query=subject%3A%22wikiteam%22+AND+collection%3Aopensource).
