I downloaded the Mac version from the Zotero official website on 2024.9.20, but I am unable to install this plugin. The following message is displayed during installation:

Hi @2045shane We have different releases for Zotero 6 and 7. Please check out the releases page and make sure you have the correct version that matches your Zotero instance.

Hi @2045shane Let me know if you still experience the same issue.

Are you using the firefox browser? The problem is with the aria.xpi file. .xpi extension is what firefox uses for it's extensions. If you are in firefox and click on the aria.xpi link, you will see firefox try to install what it thinks is a firefox extension and will of course fail. If you right click on the file and try to do "save as link" you can then download the aria.xpi file BUT it will be a 0 byte file. In other words, an empty file.

The solution is to use another browser like chrome or safari to download that file. Then when you download the aria.xpi file, you will see that it's the 1.7 MB size that it's supposed to be.

@lifan0127 , can you please put this message in your installation instructions. I think it will help a lot of people.

Hi @nickfox Zotero is based on Firefox and hence Zotero plugins are in xpi format. When I tried "save link as" in Firefox, I was able to download the xpi file with the correct size. What are the your Operating System and the Firefox version? Thanks!

Hey @lifan0127 , I'm on a mac mini Sequoia 15.o and my firefox version is 131.0.3 (aarch64)

It's really strange. I also tested it on Mac and it worked for me. I will update the README.

@lifan0127 After your message last night, I went back and downloaded the file again with firefox. This time the file was 1.7 MB as expected. I'm pretty sure the file was 0 bytes the first time. I hope this hasn't caused you too much consternation.
