# Zotero + LibreOffice (Linux/Ubuntu based distros) - Credits to [Kameid](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/comments/i6skza/installing_zotero_and_using_it_with_libreoffice/)
### Trying to solve the problem where the Zotero plugin doesn't work properly in the Linux LibreOffice Writer:
## Guide:
**1. Uninstall Zotero**
**2. Make sure you have a Java Runtime Environment installed**. In LibreOffice, go to **Tools>Options>Advanced**. Make sure you have the "Use Java runtime environment" box checked, and if there is a JRE installed. **If there isn't one**, open terminal and **install the latest JRE**:
```bash
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jre
```
**3. Check if your installation worked. Run:**
```bash
java -version
```
Output:
**4. Restart LibreOffice**
**5. install libreoffice-java-common:**
```bash
sudo apt install libreoffice-java-common
```
**6. Install Zotero**
It should work fine now:

**Bonus in case it didn't work**
1. Navigate to the Zotero application files:
- Go to the directory where Zotero is installed and open `extensions/[email protected]/install` (Zotero 6) or `integration/libreoffice` (Zotero 7)
- For Flatpak: `~/.local/share/flatpak/app/org.zotero.Zotero/x86_64/stable/.../files/share/zotero/extensions/[email protected]/install`
- Or search for `Zotero_OpenOffice_Integration.oxt` on your file manager (Nautilus, Dolphin...)
2. Double-click the Zotero_OpenOffice_Integration.oxt file to install it. Alternatively, go to Tools → Extension Manager in LibreOffice, click Add, and select the .oxt from the above folder.
