This free tool is perfect for students and teachers, but also for anyone looking to keep track of important information found on the Web. To download Zotero, visit the Zotero download page. The download page has links for all browsers.
You also can add notes on the side of the page, much as you would with hard-copy research. Zotero is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and it works with Firefox, Chrome, and Safari web browsers. As I'm working on a environment not connected to internet, I want to use the Zotero plugin in firefox but when I've clicked on the download page, it seems to add it automatically to your current browser and not allowing to download an installer. The highlighter tool is a handy addition for noting key sections in saved Web pages. We were able to add notes and even attach Word and Excel documents to specific items in the collection folders. Depending on your security settings, Firefox will ask you to confirm the plugin.
#ZOTERO DOWNLOAD FIREFOX INSTALL#
It should open in Firefox as seen below and ask if you would like to install the extension.
Firefox will download the plugin to your default download location. build.sh copies images and extension files. Click the Firefox icon on the Zotero download page. This will be reconciled in the future to only use gulp. At the moment the build process is awkward and uses a SH script and gulp procedures. Once we got going, we were quickly adding entire pages, specific text, and taking snapshots of Web material to organize into collections. The build process combines files from the Zotero codebase, common files to all connectors and specific files for Chrome/Firefox/Safari connectors. You can definitely cut down your learning curve by taking advantage of the tutorial. We spent some time trying to figure out the program it's not immediately intuitive.
A three-paned screen takes up half of your browser screen, but you can choose to display it under your browser window or expand it to take up the entire screen. Zotero's user interface can be activated by either a hot-key combo or by clicking on the status-bar icon.
