Benjamin Abrahamse from MIT gave this presentation at NETSL in 2010 on using the MarcEdit Z39.50 Client’s batch processing mode to retrieve MARC records.

MarcEdit 7.7 has two distinct download options to ensure that users have the options necessary to work within their specific and unique local environments. Please review the options below and select the option that makes the most sense for you and your environment.
Please note, while both of these installation files can be installed by users (without administrative permissions); only the User Only (Self Contained) installation utilizes the new .NET option to precompile and freeze and application to a specific .NET build, allowing all dependencies and system files to be included in the installation. Users installing the Consolidated Installer will need to either install the following dependencies prior to installation or provide an administrative password to install the necessary .NET 8.0 Desktop Runtime files if they are not present. Specifically, the following dependencies will be installed when using the Consolidated Installer:
These runtimes enable the application to run on either 64 or 32 bit systems, as well as allow other 32 or 64 bit applications to interact with MarcEdit’s programming components. The dependencies can be installed prior to installing MarcEdit 7.7 from the Microsoft website: Download .NET 8.0 (Linux, macOS, and Windows) (microsoft.com)
System Administrators: Please note, both of these updates have their own individual program and upgrade ids. This means that these versions technical could be installed on the same machine; but it is not recommended. For organizations wanting to manage the installation via a package management tool, please see: Managing MarcEdit Installations for information related to best practices and access to a native 64-bit installer.

This is the recommended version of MarcEdit for systems where you will have more that one user signing in and utilizing the application, for users on 32-bit systems, for organizations wanting to manage the application installation via SCCM or other package manager, or for users that require the use of MarcEdit’s COM programming library to support local script development or 3rd-party tools utilizing the MarcEdit COM library.

MarcEdit 7 has two 32-bit download options — a version that does not require administrator permissions and one that does require administrator permissions. Functionally, these versions offer the exact same functionality, with the primary difference being that the non-Administrative installation installs into a single user space, and the version that requires Administrator permissions are installed into the Program Files space to enable multiple users to run MarcEdit. Please review the table below to determine which version of MarcEdit you should download.

The MarcEdit 7 Linux downloader is a self-contained installer utilizing the makeself command. When installing the Linux version of MarcEdit 7, the installer will extract the program into the same directory that you run the installer. Following extraction, the tool will run a script that will create a shortcut on your linux desktop that can then be used to run MarcEdit. If you want to specify a particular target directory, use the -target option when running marcedit7.run. For example:
>marcedit7.run –target ~/Documents/marcedit

The MarcEdit MacOS 3 is a native MacOS application designed to work on all MacOS systems 10.12 and greater. The existence of a native Mac version of MarcEdit owes a great deal of gratitude to Whitni Watkins, who helped coordinate its development and community around this version of the product. Without her push and organization, it’s very likely that a native version of the software wouldn’t have been developed and continue to be a development priority.
System Requirements:
To run MarcEdit MacOS 3, you must must be running MacOS 10.12 or greater. As of today, if you want Z39.50 support, you need to download the Yaz library through a service like homebrew. A KB article has been created to walk you through the process of enabling Yaz on various Mac Systems. Please see: MarcEdit Mac: Enabling Z39.50 Support
