Problem while creating a symbolic link

Hakimdah
I am trying to install Zotero on my Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, using the instructions from the official website (https://www.zotero.org/support/installation), everything was fine but when I tried to create a launcher, I encountered the following problem: "ln: failed to create symbolic link '/home/hakim/.local/share/applications/zotero.desktop': File exists"
Any help, please?
Thank you in advance.

    That just suggests you previously added a symlink there. Delete the existing symlink and recreate it, or use ln -sf. This is just general Linux troubleshooting, unrelated to Zotero, so you'll need to debug this yourself.

    Thank you very much, the problem is solved by using what you have suggested (ln -sf).
