I’m no expert, but since no one else has chimed in: if you’re distributing a program (vs a library) and you want it to work regardless of whether Racket is installed, what you probably want is to compile your program using raco distribute (https://docs.racket-lang.org/raco/exe-dist.html). Then distribute the resulting binary. This will be faster for your users.
I haven’t done much with Homebrew, but maybe this would be a good place to start: http://octavore.com/posts/2016/02/15/distributing-go-apps-os-x On Friday, June 7, 2019 at 3:59:21 AM UTC-5, james.geddes wrote: > > Dear All, > > Does anyone have experience sharing a Racket program using homebrew, for > users who may or may not have the Racket distribution installed?
