MarcEdit is a metadata editing software suite used primarily to create and manipulate MARC records. Originally developed by Terry Reese in 1999 for a major database cleanup project at Oregon State University, the software was subsequently released for wider use in the LIS field.

1. Download the marcedit from the following link
   https://marcedit.reeset.net/software/marcedit.bin.zip

2. Extract the downloaded file. (The extracted "marcedit" folder  may be copied to the home folder for convenience.)

3. Install mono framework

    sudo apt-get install mono-devel
   sudo apt-get install mono-xsp4

 If you found the error "key is not found", please add the key as in the link below
https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/

4. Open the terminal. change the directory to marcedit
     (root@mahesh-server:/home/mahesh# cd /home/mahesh/marcedit)

5. type "mono MarcEdit.exe" in the terminal and the marcedit screen will appear
     (root@mahesh-server:/home/mahesh/marcedit# mono MarcEdit.exe)
