Library Instruction

Please read the installation directions below carefully:

I have a UMass Chan-provided computer or laptop:

If you have a UMass Chan-provided device, you may not have administrative rights on your computer. You can either submit a ticket through the IT Help Desk Portal, or:

1. If you'd like to try installing on your own, you will need to download EndNote from IT’s list of pre-approved apps or programs. These programs are available from the Company Portal or the Software Center, depending on the device you are using.
2. Click the Start button or Windows icon and search “Company Portal” or “Software Center”
3. In the window that comes up, you should see and option for Apps. Click this and scroll to find EndNote alphabetically listed.
4. Click EndNote and select “Install.” The installation process should occur without further input from you.

I want to install EndNote on a personal device:

1. You must be a user with administrative rights on your computer for this process to work
2. Close all Microsoft apps (Outlook, Word, PowerPoint)
3. Click the link below labelled EndNote 21 PC download
4. Do not click the downloaded file; instead, go to your downloads folder
5. In your downloads, right click the zipped file and look for EXTRACT ALL
6. Finish extracting; run the installer, following the steps for a basic installation
7. If the installer asks for a license number, please try the extraction process again

Mac EndNote X9 Installation for personal or UMass Chan provided Mac computers:

1. To install EndNote, you must be an administrator on your computer. Please begin by closing all Microsoft programs, including Outlook and Word. After you click the link below, you may be asked to log in using single sign on. Once you have logged in, click the download button.
2. For users upgrading from an older version of EndNote, please make sure your libraries are saved in a file location separate from the EndNote program folder (usually C:\ProgramFiles\EndNote). Uninstall older versions of EndNote.
3. The EndNote install link you see below will download a zipped file into your downloads folder. You will have to unzip the file before you can run the installer; if you do not unzip the file, the installer may not be able to read the license information and will ask you for a license number or ask you to install a trial version.
4. To unzip the file, go to your downloads folder and either control+click or click with two fingers on the EndNoteX9SiteInstaller.zip file. Select Open with>Archive Utility. Give this a couple of minutes to work.
5. You should now have a .dmg file; double click this to start the installation process. 
6. Click twice on the gear icon on the EndNote installer window and follow the instructions.

Getting the error message: Word was unable to load an add-in. Your add-in isn't compatible with this version of Word. Please contact the add-in provider for an update.

Solution: Enable Apple’s Rosetta service for Word. Do this by closing Word, right clicking (or command click) its name in the applications list, selecting get info, and then checking the run using Rosetta option. Once you do that, try opening Word. Reach out to the library if this doesn’t resolve the issue. More details here: M1 chip
