2. First steps

The LCA Collaboration Server (LCA CS) is an open-source tool that is available for free. Therefore, it can be downloaded, installed, and maintained by the user alone, see section 2.1. However, not all users have the IT infrastructure to host their own LCA Collaboration Server or do not want to bother with its installation and operation. For that case, GreenDelta also offers hosting solutions and support, see section 2.2.

This section also explains how to make the link between the openLCA in your machine and the LCA CS, the dashboard of the LCA CS, and the types of users and roles available for this tool.
