zotero-deb apt-get
PSA
The zotero
package is now Zotero 7. If you want Zotero 6, install the zotero6
package. These can be installed side-by-side, even if you can only have one of them running at any given time.
Primary source:
(re)install using
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/retorquere/zotero-deb/master/install.sh | sudo bash

This repository contains packaged releases of Zotero and Juris-M for Debian-based Linux systems and Crostini-enabled chromebooks, and the script used to build them. It also offers the latest nightly zotero-beta.
This repository updates to new releases of Zotero and Juris-M within 2 hours, usually faster.
Contents of the packages
The packages include the whole Zotero/Juris-M binaries, as built by Zotero / Juris-M teams themselves.
The packages provide a system-wide installation (into the /usr/lib
directory), as opposed to a single-user installation (e.g. in your HOME
directory).
They manage both desktop file registration and MimeType registration.
Installing Zotero / Juris-M
If you're previously used the tarball install, delete ~/.local/share/applications/zotero.desktop
.
Installing Zotero
To install Zotero, use the following commands:
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/retorquere/zotero-deb/master/install.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install zotero
Installing Juris-M
To install Juris-M, use the following commands:
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/retorquere/zotero-deb/master/install.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install jurism
Note
You can use curl
instead of wget
by typing
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/retorquere/zotero-deb/master/install.sh | sudo bash
Updating Zotero / Juris-M
The Zotero / Juris-M programs provided by this repository have their self-update facility disabled.
Simply rely on on your system's package manager to give you update notifications when a new version comes out.
Alternatively, you can use the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
install.sh will ask for sudo permissions to install the pointer to the apt repo, and to add the signing key to the keyring.
Beta packages
This repo also has the nightly beta's, installable as the zotero-beta
and jurism-beta
packages. You can install these alongside the regular packages.
Package signing errors in Debian/Ubuntu/...
The accepted key format in Debian-based systems seems to have changed a while ago, which means the existing signing verification key you have may no longer be available during install. Re-running the install script will remedy that:
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/retorquere/zotero-deb/master/install.sh | sudo bash
Instructions for installation on Crostini-capable Chromebooks
Instructions for installation on Crostini-capable Chromebooks can be found on the wiki.
Uninstall
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/retorquere/zotero-deb/master/uninstall.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt-get purge zotero
What goes on under the hood in install.sh
The install.sh is convenient, but there's a risk to running random scripts from the internet as root. What the script does, and what you could manually do yourself, is:
Check whether you are installing on a supported architecture:
case `uname -m` in
"i386" | "i686" | "x86_64")
;;
*)
echo "Zotero is only available for architectures i686 and x86_64"
exit
;;
esac
Set up some basic information about the repo and your environment:
KEYNAME=zotero-archive-keyring.gpg
GPGKEY=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/retorquere/zotero-deb/master/$KEYNAME
KEYRING=/usr/share/keyrings/$KEYNAME
checks whether you have curl
or wget
and use that to download the public key for signature verification
if [ -x "$(command -v curl)" ]; then
sudo curl -L $GPGKEY -o $KEYRING
elif [ -x "$(command -v wget)" ]; then
sudo wget -O $KEYRING $GPGKEY
else
echo "Error: need wget or curl installed." >&2
exit 1
fi
sudo chmod 644 $KEYRING
remove old key with too broad reach if present
sudo rm -f /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/zotero.gpg
install repo pointer

clean up remnants from previous use of another mirror, if any
