How to create a new database in openLCA?

Question

I have downloaded openLCA 1.10.2 for my mac from http://www.openlca.org/download/ and want to learn how to use it. I tried making a new database but I can not click the finish button to create the database. I am unable to finish creating a database as, despite my name for the database being 'NewDatabase', an error is shown saying the name needs to be 4 characters or longer. 

When I installed openLCA the log file has an error with loading Julia libs.

Answer 1

Regarding the missing library error: we uploaded a new openLCA 1.10.2 version for macOS where this should be fixed now.

I could not reproduce the database error. Which OS version do you use?

 

It is then correctly created in the file system under `~/openLCA-data-1.4/databases`:

Maybe there is some problem with the data folder?
