Linux users may wish to use a package for their distro rather than using the tarball directly. If you download the tarball, unzip it and run ''zotero'' from that directory to start Zotero. | Download the tarball, extract the contents and run ''zotero'' from that directory to start Zotero. |

Alternatively, on Ubuntu, move the directory to a location of your choice, run the bundled ''set_launcher_icon'' script (which will update the included desktop file with the full path to the bundled Zotero icon), and then double-click ''Zotero'' (which may display as ''zotero.desktop'' initially). You can also symlink ''zotero.desktop'' to ''~/.local/share/applications/'' to add it to your launcher. | For Ubuntu, the tarball includes a .desktop file that can be used to add Zotero to the launcher. Move the extracted directory to a location of your choice (e.g., ''/opt/zotero''), run the ''set_launcher_icon'' script to update the .desktop file for that location, and symlink ''zotero.desktop'' into ''~/.local/share/applications/'' (e.g., ''ln -s /opt/zotero/zotero.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/zotero.desktop''). Zotero should then appear in your launcher. |
