How do I import openLCA methods pack v.2.1.3 (JSON-LD file)?

Question

Hi all, I am trying to import the latest openLCA methods pack (v.2.1.3), which is not a zolca file but a JSON-LD file (.zip). I downloaded the .zip from nexus and followed these steps: (File>Import>Other>Linked Data (JSON-LD)>From directory>Browse). However, the .zip file is not discoverable even though it is present in the Download folder of my computer. Instead, 7 folders appear when I browse in OpenLCA (categories, flows, flow_properties, lcia_categories, lcia_methods, nw_sets, unit_groups) but nothing happens when I double-click on them and I can only click on the “< Back” and “Cancel” buttons of the "Select import files" window. What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to download it as a zolca file? Thanks for your help.

This dialogue is not really perfect, you first need to select the folder (and do not see the zip files in the folder), and then in the next step you see the zip file. Please give it a try.

Hi,

I imported the database "ecoinvent 3.9.1 LCIA Methods" as said but I can’t see it anywhere, I have other databases installed but they are .zolca. Can you help me?
Thank you in advance
