Re: [racket-users] Installing packages

Yes.

For some package , you can install it for your current user with
the command "raco pkg install " or for the entire installation
(which I often prefer) with "raco pkg install -i ".

So, to install DrRacket, "raco pkg install drracket".

Installing the document you linked to illustrates another point: while you
can mix documentation and implementation in the same package, many
"industrial strength" packages like Scribble split them up into separate
packages, so that in resource-constrained environments you can leave out
the documentation. The document you linked to is part of the "scribble-doc"
package ("raco pkg install scribble-doc"), and the implementation is in
"scribble-lib" ("raco pkg install scribble-lib"). Assuming you want both,
you can just install the main Scribble package ("raco pkg install
scribble"), which pulls both the documentation and the implementation as
dependencies.

I would also note that the minimal installation is very minimal indeed, and
the main distribution is < 600 MB on my machine. Unless you have a
particular reason to want the minimal version, I think the main
distribution is a more friendly place to start.

[racket-users] Installing packages

2018-04-23 Thread Manuel G
Hi, 

I'm new to racket, and I'm very interested in DSL , I've installed the 
minimal distribution, and I'd like to 
"install" documentation such as 

https://docs.racket-lang.org/scribble/index.html

, is that possible ? 

Can I install drracket using raco ? 

thanks
