Intall on Pop OS

drgwf
Hello,

I'd like to install Zotero on my System 76 running Pop OS. I managed it on my other machine using Ubuntu, but I'm stuck with the new machine. I'm still a linux newbie.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Best,

    You'd have to say what didn't work that did work on Ubuntu.

    Hello,

    I download the tarball and extract the files, but then I can't find any guidance on what to do after that. The documentation here says to run Zotero from that directory, but that's not very helpful. I don't know what to do once I have all files extracted.

    Best,

    I guess I'm wondering what you did in Ubuntu and why you couldn't just do the same?

    Running it directly from the directory is cd into the directory, making the zotero file executable and running it:


    $ cd ./zotero-extracted
    $ sudo chmod +x zotero
    $ ./zotero

    That said, on debian base systems, you may just want to use the unofficial PPA (https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-deb )

    (You shouldn't need the chmod line unless you're using an uncompressing tool that doesn't preserve the file mode, which would be very unusual.)

    Hello,

    Thank you very much. That triggered my memory about what I was doing wrong. I've installed it successfully.

    Thanks again.

    Best,
