Hello Frank,
This was a similar question asked on ResearchGate; it might be worth contacting the sender of the question if she did use it, or others who responded:
https://www.researchgate.net/post/Has_anyone_used_the_RQDA_free_tool_for_qualitative_data_analysis
I haven't used it, but if you don't get any help, these members of ResearchGate might be able to shed some light on RQDA:
Chandra, Y., Chandra, Y., Shang, L., & Shang, L. (2017). An RQDA-based constructivist methodology for qualitative research. Qualitative Market Research: An International Journal, 20(1), 90-112.

Good luck with this,

Article An RQDA-based Constructivist Methodology for Qualitative Research
Hi Frank
My paper attached by Mary is a good reference for installing and using RQDA, but also how to use it for theory building research. Qualitative isnt a good definition for a research that is not testing any data. Theory buidling is a better term than "qualitative." This paper addresses all these issues.
Thank you Mary.
Best,
Yanto
Dear Frank
I used AQUAD and I recommend it for its ability to code any kind of file without transcription.
Using interviews this saves a lot of time for actual analysis.
Kind Regards
Roland
Thanks Mary, Yanto and Roland for your recommendation, I will look into the articles and software.
QDA MIner Lite is a very well developed program and it is free. As you might expect from the name and price, it does not have as many features as the full version of QDA Miner (or other equivalent commercial packages), but it might well be enough to meet your needs.
You can see a list of its features at:
