You do not need administrator privileges for installation. If administrator username and password are asked for, bypass (cancel) them. It is not necessary to create an user account if you use the application on single computer only. Remember to backup your Zotero database regularly.<\/p>\n<p>Install the desktop application on an UEF computer from UEF Sofware Center. Install on a KYS (KUH) computer from KYS (KUH) Software Center. Install on other computers from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zotero.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zotero website<\/a> (opens in new tab). Close your word processor before you start Zotero for the first time. This ensures the installation of citation add-in. You may reinstall the add-in later via Zotero desktop. The database to be backed up is usually found in C:\\Users\\username\\Zotero. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zotero.org\/support\/zotero_data\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See the backup instructions, please<\/a> (opens in new tab).<\/p>\n<p>Set up your Zotero desktop application by following the instructions presented below.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the video by Georgia State University Library (1:21):<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pueO_XYiS1w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to install Zotero<\/a> (opens in new tab).<\/p>\n<p>If you want to use Zotero on several computers, install the desktop application on all those computers and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zotero.org\/user\/login\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">create your user account<\/a> (opens in new tab). The Zotero databases on individual computers are synchronized via the account. <strong>Please do not use a networked drive or a cloud storage space as a substitute for the user account<\/strong>. This may cause problems. There is unlimited storage space for references in the account. You may see the references in your account by logging in to Zotero website. The account also serves as a backup of your Zotero database. However we recommend a separate backup to be taken periodically, if at all possible.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the video by Georgia State University Library (3:14):<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tcreauMno6I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Setting up your account and synchronizing your library<\/a> (opens in new tab).<\/p>\n<p>Reference attachments such as publication pdf&#8217;s are not synchronized. You may synchronize the attachments via Zotero Storage functionality. It is free until 300 megabytes are used. You may buy additional storage space on the Zotero website.<\/p>\n<p>Attachment file synchronization is enabled by default. It is a good idea to disable it, because free Zotero Storage space is quite small. In that case the files are saved only on one computer. You may also consider not to save any full texts at all. Zotero references can be easily linked to online publications.
