I need help to install zotero and megasync on Tumbleweed. Can someone give me guidance? I’m a new user of Opensuse. For megasync I’ve tried using oneclick install, but it failed.
Hi, welcome
Could you tell us a bit more? Your desktop environment? Did the install of megasync fail, or can’t you get the program to work? How far did you get in your attempts to install Zotero ?
mega is rather easy just install megasync for TW it should add the mega repo which will give you updates
sudo zypper in https://mega.nz/linux/MEGAsync/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/x86_64/megasync-openSUSE_Tumbleweed.x86_64.rpm
zotero comes in a tar ball just download and unpack the bziped tar archive from their home page
https://www.zotero.org/download/

Thanks for your response. This is what I got:

Hi Knurpht. Thanks for your reply. Regarding the attempt to install megasync you can look my response to the reply by I_A. And zotero, I still to find out how to install tar.bz2 format file. By the way my DE is KDE Plasma.
as you currently don’t have the mega sign key that error is to be expected you could chose ignore ‘i’ or you could first add the mega repo (which will import the key prior to install)
sudo zypper ar -f https://mega.nz/linux/MEGAsync/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ MEGA
sudo zypper in megasync
the thing is I’m pretty sure megasync will add the reposetory and if they’re not the same name you’ll end up with 2 mega repo’s with different names both pointing to the same URL (which is not a big deal)
the other error you got is for a nonexistent TW repo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory/snapshot looks strange to me you should remove that repo
tell us your repo list
zypper lr -d
Thanks I_A. I chose ignore, it works well so far.
