(Wikipedia in any language, thousands of Khan Academy videos, zoomable OpenStreetMap, electronic books, WordPress journaling, Toys from Trash electronics projects, ETC) to those without Internet.
You can build your own tiny, affordable server (an offline digital library) for your school, your medical clinic, your prison, your region and/or your very own family — accessible with any nearby smartphone, tablet or laptop.
2. Choose among [30+ powerful educational apps](https://wiki.iiab.io/go/FAQ#What_services_.28IIAB_apps.29_are_suggested_during_installation%3F) for your school or learning/teaching community, optionally with a complete LMS (learning management system).

FYI this [community product](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet-in-a-Box) is enabled by professional volunteers working [side-by-side](https://wiki.iiab.io/go/FAQ#What_are_the_best_places_for_community_support%3F) with schools, clinics and libraries around the world. *Thank you for being a part of our http://OFF.NETWORK grassroots technology [movement](https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Internet-in-a-Box)!*
Please see [FAQ.IIAB.IO](https://wiki.iiab.io/go/FAQ) which has 40+ questions and answers to help you along the way, as you put together the <!--digital--> "local learning hotspot" most suitable for your own teaching/learning community. Here are 2 ways to install IIAB:
- Our [1-line installer](https://download.iiab.io/) gets you the very latest, typically within about an hour, on [different Linux distributions](https://github.com/iiab/iiab/wiki/IIAB-Platforms#operating-systems).
- [Prefab disk images](https://github.com/iiab/iiab/wiki/Raspberry-Pi-Images-~-Summary#iiab-images-for-raspberry-pi) ([.img files](https://archive.org/search.php?query=iiab%20.img&sort=-publicdate)) are sometimes a few months out of date, but can be flashed directly onto a microSD card, for insertion into Raspberry Pi.
Our [HOW-TO videos](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0cBGCxr_WPBPa3IqPVEe3g) can be very helpful and the [Installation](https://github.com/iiab/iiab/wiki/IIAB-Installation) wiki page has more intricate details e.g. if you're trying to install Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) onto a [another Linux](https://github.com/iiab/iiab/wiki/IIAB-Platforms) that has not yet been tried.
After you've installed the software, you should [add content](https://github.com/iiab/iiab/wiki/IIAB-Installation#add-content), which can of course take time when downloading multi-gigabyte Content Packs!
Finally, you can [customize your Internet-in-a-Box home page](https://wiki.iiab.io/go/FAQ#How_do_I_customize_my_Internet-in-a-Box_home_page%3F) (typically http://box or http://box.lan) using our **drag-and-drop** Admin Console (http://box.lan/admin) — to arrange Content Packs and IIAB Apps (services) for your local community's needs.
Global community updates and videos are regularly posted to: **[@internet_in_box](https://twitter.com/internet_in_box)**
_Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) greatly welcomes contributions from educators, librarians and [IT/UX/QA people](https://github.com/iiab/iiab/wiki/Technical-Contributors-Guide) of all kinds!_
If you would like to volunteer, please [make contact](https://internet-in-a-box.org/contributing.html) after looking over ["How can I help?"](https://wiki.iiab.io/go/FAQ#How_can_I_help%3F) at: [FAQ.IIAB.IO](https://wiki.iiab.io/go/FAQ)
To learn more about our open community architecture for "offline" learning, check out ["What technical documentation exists?"](https://wiki.iiab.io/go/FAQ#What_technical_documentation_exists%3F)
FYI we use [Ansible](https://wiki.iiab.io/go/FAQ#What_is_Ansible_and_what_version_should_I_use%3F) <!--as the underlying technology--> to install, deploy, configure and manage the various software components.
*Thank you for helping us enable offline access to the Internet's free/open knowledge jewels, as well as "Sneakernet-of-Alexandria" distribution of local/indigenous content, when mass media channels do not serve grassroots voices.*
