Connecting Power Bi with Redcap

Hello,

I'm struglling with connecting Power BI with Redcap database. I followed the steps (downloading and saving the GitHub code in the right folder). My problem is, the Redcap customer connetor is not popping up in Power Bi GetData. How can I solve this problem?

@blidia1 Make sure that the Redcap custom connector .mez file is located in [Documents]\Microsoft Power BI Desktop\Custom Connectors folder. Also you will likely have to enable non-certified connectors in File | Options and settings | Options | Security

Thanks for responding. I have tried everything. I'm not sure if the process has been moved. It's not working.
