Linux Standalone: "gzip: stdin: not in gzip format"

mpeters1
I am very non-expert at installing from tar.bz2, but I think I'm doing it right and then I get an error: "gzip: stdin: not in gzip format". Is it me or a problem with the tarball?

    It's not a gzip, and you're passing z. Use 'tar xvf' and it'll autodetect the format (bzip).

    Thanks for the speedy reply! That seems to fix the command, but I'm not sure I'm seeing what to do next? A lot of stuff unpacked, but what else do I need to do to run it?

    I'm also not really sure how to run it. For now, I extracted and run run-zotero.sh.
    Does the final version will be more integrated to OS (deb packaging, be in applications menu and so on)?
    It seems very interesting. I think to use this version for citing and continuing using Firefox for collecting information. I'm quite sure it will run smoother on my netbook!
    Thanks for this big advancement!

    packiging for various distros is quite a bit of work - remember not all linux is ubuntu/mint... Dan has indicated that they're reluctant to do that, although that wasn't definite. Though I'm sure other people might volunteer at least an Ubuntu package.

    As for applications menu - you can just put a starter in the applications menu yourself...
