+============
+
+A speedy, offline, command-line dictionary based on Wiktionary.
+
+Inspired by the excellent [thesauromatic](https://github.com/cjrh/thesauromatic).
+
+Building
+--------
+The environment variables `index_path` and `dictionary_path` must be set to the locations of a complete multistream bz2 index and archive from the [Wiktionary dumps](https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiktionary/), not included here as they're several gigabytes.
+They are by default set to the last dumps from 2022 ([2022-12-20](https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiktionary/20221220/)), located in a top-level `data/` folder.
