Installing zotero beta on Ubuntu

MartinFisher

I prefer to run zotero beta, on Ubuntu. Having moved to a new laptop, I have as usual gone to https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-deb for the install (as recommended in the zotero documentation). The command for installation is

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/retorquere/zotero-deb/master/install.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install zotero

For the beta, zotero-deb in the first line needs to be changed to zotero-beta, but this does not seem to work (zotero-deb is fine).

zotero-beta has worked fine previously. Does anybody have any idea what the problem is?

With grateful thanks!

You are misremembering. It's sudo apt install zotero-beta in the last line and I am pretty sure that has always been the case

I am indeed, and thank you! I was changing zotero-deb in the wget line to zotero-beta, sigh. In case anyone else makes the same silly mistake (I doubt it...), the commands required to install the beta are:

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/retorquere/zotero-deb/master/install.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install zotero-beta
