I installed with brew install racket and then raco pkg install drracket, does that include the DrRacket GUI app?

doppioslash: yes the drracket package is the DrRacket IDE

@florence: how do I launch it?

I don’t know where brew installs racket but wherever that is there should be a DrRacket.app and a bin directory containing a drracket executable. Either of those will launch it

(You can probably find it with which racket

)

@doppioslash: ^

@florence: which racket gives me /usr/local/bin/racket and doing a find for drracket doesn’t find any .app :confused:

@doppioslash: It should be somewhere in /usr/local/Cellar/ i think

what does racket -e "(collection-path \"drracket\”)"

give you?

#<path:/usr/local/Cellar/racket/6.3/share/racket/pkgs/drracket/drracket>

$ find /usr/local/Cellar/racket/6.3/ -name *.app /usr/local/Cellar/racket/6.3//lib/GRacket.app /usr/local/Cellar/racket/6.3//lib/Starter.app

running either of those two doesn’t have any result. Starter.app is “incomplete or damaged” GRacket.app closes straight away without showing anything

That sounds like you need to run raco setup drracket but the raco pkg install should have done that…

Another thing you could do is do brew cask install drracket instead. That should give you the full distribution (that comes with drracket).

Otherwise you might need to ask on the mailing list. I’m not sure how the DrRacket.app gets built so something could be going wrong with the brew installation and how racket installs packages…

$ brew cask install drracket Error: No available Cask for drracket Error: nothing to install

raco setup drracket runs ok but doesn’t produce more .app files. Thanks, @florence :simple_smile: I’ll ask on the mailing list, this is probably a bit of process that needs some documentation

@doppioslash: sorry brew cask install racket

not drracket .-.

@florence: $ brew cask install racket Error: Cask 'racket' definition is invalid: Bad header line: parse failed
