How can I install beta version on Manjaro Linux

starsareintherose

I miss several similar errors.
```
   /opt/zotero  ./zotero  ✔
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /opt/zotero/libxul.so:
libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.
```
How can I install the beta version?

This is running straight from the tarball or how?

starsareintherose

sudo mkdir /opt/zotero
sudo mv Zotero_linux-x86_64/* /opt/zotero/
cd /opt/zotero
sudo ./set_launcher_icon
ln -s /opt/zotero/zotero.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/zotero.desktop

I use these commands to install the beta version

Zotero-deb packages the betas too.

adamsmith

Cool, probably worth a try. That's just sudo apt install zotero-beta?

(see https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-deb/releases )

@adamsmith Manjaro can use sudo pacman -S [package] and yay -S [package]. Manjaro belongs to Arch branch.

adamsmith

ah sorry, I misremembered.

adamsmith

I'm afraid you'll then have to go through the missing dependencies and install them.

starsareintherose

because there is no aur and pacman way to install the beta version. So, somewhat difficulty

emilianoeheyns

Yep, zotero-beta

I had forgotten there exist distributions that aren't debian based, sorry. The deb lists its dependencies but all those are the package names from debian based systems.

Thanks, I solved it
