Helllo,

I tried to install the openLCA but when I click en the app (after downloading and transferring the app) appears a message saying "An error has occurred. See the log file /application/openLCA.app/configuration/1412711319545.log

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Maria,
please see here for installation instructions for a Mac: http://www.openlca.org/documents/14826/ ... eps_v1.pdf. Typically you need to install Java SDK 8 on a Mac.
Hope this helps,
Andreas

Well, as said in the previous reply, you need to install the JDK on a Mac, not the usual JRE version, in version 8.
Hth,

Thank you for all the guidance, @aciroth.

As I understand it, JDK 8 is only for Mac OS 10.8 or after and those of us still on OS 10.7 need to install older version. Is it known whether JDK 7 will also work? (If not, I'm in the process of installing and can let you know what I determine). And if it won't work, if you have other workarounds, let me know -- I had openLCA v1.2 working earlier, but that doesn't seem compatible with the databases, so upgrade to 1.4 is ideal.

Hi djaber,
you need the JDK in version 8 because we are using Java 8 for openLCA, JDK 7 or previous version will not work. The JDK version should be independent from the Mac version.
Best

Thank you, Andreas.

Yes, the version numbers just happen to be the same. According to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ ... 95354.html, Mac OS needs to be at 10.8 or higher for JDK 8, as I understand it. If others have already installed it successfully on older OS versions, feel free to let me know.

So maybe others should respond too - I would interpret "introduced in" as "being shipped with", but of course any user can install a more recent Java version also for previous Mac OS.
