Installation for Zotero standalone

Installation of the emacs part of the zotelo extension is exactly the same for Zotero standalone as it is for the Zotero plugin to Firefox. The easiest way is just to run M-x list-packages RET, find zotelo in the list, mark it for installation with i, and execute that action with x. Then add something like

(add-hook 'TeX-mode-hook 'zotelo-minor-mode)

to your ~/.emacs.

The difference in installation with Zotero standalone is just with installation of MozRepl. To do so, download the MozRepl .xpi file by right-clicking on the "Add to Firefox" button and clicking "Save Link As...". Then, open Zotero standalone, click the "Tools" menu, then "Add-ons". In the upper-right corner of the window that pops up, there is a gear icon. Click it and select "Install Add-on From File...", then point to the .xpi file you downloaded and follow the instructions.

You may need to restart Zotero. Once you do, the "Tools" menu will have a new entry named "MozRepl". If "Start" is an option under that menu, click it. (Otherwise, you'll only see "Stop", which you should not click.) You may also want to select "Activate on startup" to start MozRepl automatically every time Zotero starts. You should not select "Allow outside connections" unless you're really sure you know what you're doing.

Now, in emacs, you should be able to run any of the zotelo commands.
