· ldpmarc - https://github.com/library-data-platform/ldpmarc/releases
· folio-analytics - https://github.com/folio-org/folio-analytics/releases
4. Consider What Versions of the LDP Components to install
· See the Library Data Platform section of the FOLIO documentation, which includes a recommendation matrix for the 3 components by FOLIO release
· Install the latest production release for each component of the LDP software
· It is safer to install only releases (tags) and to read the release notes and make adjustments to your environment if necessary
· Do not install beta versions in production environments, as they need to be tested before they are used in production
