These instructions refer to installation on your own PC or laptop - they assume WindowsXP. Mac users should consult the information about using EndNote on a Mac. Ensure any earlier versions of Endnote are removed before installation of X2.

Using Vista or Office 2007

At this stage only X2 is available to download, but X3 should be available in early 2010.

Neither Vista nor Office 2007 are yet officially supported but Endnote X2 & X3 are compatible with Vista and Office 2007. If you use 64-bit Windows Vista, and have difficulties using Cite While You Write, you may need to install the EndNote X2.0.3 update.

Step 1: Install the software

Download the software from the links on the Endnote Software page.

If by any chance you cannot download the software, you can borrow the EndNote installation CD-ROM from the ICT Service Desk. You'll be asked to show your UC ID. Install the software following the instructions on the Endnote disc.
For Windows installations the file to run is RunMeToInstall.cmd.

Step 2: Install the additional Filters, Connection Files and Output Styles

The Library provides some modified and additional Filters, Connection files, and Styles which are useful for this University. What are Styles, Filters and Connections?

Once EndNote is loaded you will need to copy these files to your laptop or PC.

  1. Download the following compressed folders: filters.zip, connections.zip & styles.zip - although first check the installation folder as you may find copies of these files included - usually in a folder with a name like UOC-modifiedFiles. However, the versions available through links above do get updated several times a year.
    You may wish to move your original filters, connections files to a new location before you transfer in the University of Canterbury approved filters and connections files.
  2. Locate the Filters, Connections and Styles folders on your computer (these folders should have been created during the EndNote installation process). To locate them go to EndNote > Edit > Preferences > Folder Locations:
  3. Extract the compressed Filters, Connections and Styles into these folders.
