Upgrade StorageConnecting Zotero and LyX
I´m writing a thesis in LyX and have been recommended to use Zotero for my references. So I tried to follow the steps in this guide: http://derekwolfson.weebly.com/uploads/2/1/3/4/21340124/references_in_lyx_using_zotero.pdf
and installed LyZ to connect LyX and Zotero.
Mozilla has apparently removed the LyZ add-on, but I found it at Github: https://github.com/willsALMANJ/lyz/releases
Under 2.4.1, step 9 in Wolfson's guide, it says "Now open LYX and goto Tools > Preferences > Paths and set LYXServer pipe to\\. pipe\lyxpipe" which I have done. I have also reconfigured and restarted LyX afterwards.
After that I followed the steps under 2.5 and opened a new LyX-document. But then when I open Zotero and try to right-click on my Solow paper and press “Cite in LYX”, it says:
"Wrong path to Lyx server.
Set the path specified in Lyx preferences." followed by "Could not contact server at: \\.\pipe\lyxpipe" and finally "Could not retrieve document name."
I have tried several times and have no clue why it is not working. Does anyone know what I have done wrong and perhaps offer some help?

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Indeed it's a bit tricky to link Zotero and LyX with Lyz on linux OSes, but I succeed with instructions about LyX Server here :
https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXServer#toc3
Create a "lyxpipe" directory here: /home/`your_account`/.lyx/
In LyX, go to Tools > Preferences > Paths, and put in the LyXServer field: ~/.lyx/lyxpipe
And It works with Lyz if you follow the instructions on the author's Github page here https://github.com/willsALMANJ/lyz
Enjoy!
