My current approach is to put a file containing "/Applications/Racket v6.12/bin" in /etc/paths.d, which adds it to the default PATH for all users.
Personally, I'm command-line-oriented enough that I try to avoid spaces and special characters in file names I'm likely to work with from the command line, but: 1. I believe Apple has some guideline encouraging file names to use spaces, capital letters, etc. rather than underscores and other workarounds. 2. If you are writing a shell script, there are so many special characters that can cause problems that you really do have to properly quote your paths (or write the script in Racket instead, which is happy to deal with arbitrary characters in paths). -Philip On Sat, Mar 31, 2018 at 6:22 AM, Geoffrey Knauth <ge...@knauth.org> wrote: > Every time I download a new version of Racket, I put it in: > /Applications/Racket/ > The first thing I do is replace the space in the name with a hyphen. > On the more comand-liney side of things, I put > /usr/local/racket/latest/bin in my PATH. > Currently I have: > > $ which racket > /usr/local/racket/latest/bin/racket > $ ls -l /usr/local/racket > lrwxr-xr-x ...
