Downloaded MDN web docs look ugly

MDN

I downloaded the mdn doc tarball from here, after I extract the file and open the index page it looks ugly as if no css have been applied to the page. I opened the source of the page and found and tried to open the links to css files and it led me to “not found” page on “developer.cdn.mozilla.net”.

Please help me fix this problem

Hello,

The tarball is a relatively old version of MDN Web Docs (February .
2017 according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/About#Downloading_content)

If you can tell me a bit more about your usecase, maybe I can be of help.
I don’t think the tarball is a proper solution for offline viewing of MDN Web Docs.

A recent snapshot of MDN Web Docs is maintained by Kapeli (https://kapeli.com/mdn_offline) (Note: this is not an archive maintained by the MDN Web Docs team)

Hello Anthony,

I don’t have a particular usecase for it, I just like keeping offline docs for websites I like, that is why I wanted to download it. Are there any plans of updating the tarball?

Thanks.

I don’t think we have any immediate plans to update the tarball. We know there is some demand out there for offline access to MDN content, but we don’t have anything that will happen anytime soon. Right now, our priorities are around quality and performance improvements. On top of that, I expect the offline access work is more likely to revolve around implementing cacheing of MDN content locally for offline viewing. Service Workers and such.
