Currently, Qnotero is compatible with Windows, macOS, and several Linux distributions. Follow the corresponding instructions. Also, if you can not install Qnotero using these resources, it can be compiled from the source code.

Windows

Download the latest setup file directly from GitHub:

Snap store (Linux distributions)

qnotero

Qnotero can be directly installed from the Snap store, using your favorite GUI, like Discover, Ubuntu snap store, Bauh, among others. Alternatively, you can install it from the command line using:

sudo snap install qnotero

Note: Due to the current limitations of the snap implementation, some times, Qnotero has to be installed in development mode. However, this is only necessary if you installed Zotero from the Snap store. To do so, run the following command:

sudo snap install qnotero --devmode

Arch Linux

In Arch Linux and its derivatives, you can install Qnotero from AUR using yay, or other AUR helper:

      yay -S qnotero

macOS

macOS users can download the compressed bundle, uncompress it and copy to the application folder.

Other operating systems

You can (try to) install Qnotero from the source code. Follow these instructions to do so:

  1. Install python. The minimum version required is 3.3.
  2. Install the dependencies needed by Qnotero, using the corresponding package manager of your distribution, or using pip: setuptools, pyqt5.
  3. Uncompress the source code and navigate to the folder where it was uncompressed.
  4. Run the install script sudo python3 setup.py install.
