I wrote some notes about how to do something similar, when I worked on the
plot package:
https://alex-hhh.github.io/2018/01/changing-built-in-racket-packages.html
These instructions will work for the case where Racket is installed
globally and your current user does not have permissions to modify any
files in this global Racket installation. They might not be the simplest
ones however, as I am not a raco pkg package expert either.
Hope this helps,
Alex.
