Actually, I use it offline following the procedure below: - Clone web2py itself from https://github.com/web2py/web2py.git - Enter in its `applications` directory - Clone the book repository from https://github.com/mdipierro/web2py-book.git book - Run web2py - Go to the web browser in the following URL: http://localhost:8000/book
The end. Anything beyond that, like keeping web2py and the book itself updated, is related to git usage. I've experienced the repository version is more up to date than the online one. For instance, when searching the online version for "appconfig" you get no results, while the cloned repository shows me some results. -- Vinicius.
