Operation not supported error

If you are seeing errors like this:

error: Can not copy to temporary file: Operation not supported

Try using an absolute path to the document:

$ zathura document.pdf
error: Can not copy to temporary file: Operation not supported
# Try:
$ zathura /path/to/document.pdf

Known Issues

Currently plugins are installed in the zathura folder, which means that uninstalling a plugin does not work.
