@ -10,11 +10,19 @@ to run programs, run the @tt{DrRacket} executable. Otherwise, the @tt{racket}
executable will run a command-line Read-Eval-Print-Loop
(@tech[#:doc '(lib "scribblings/guide/guide.scrbl")]{REPL}).
On Windows, you can access Racket through the Start menu. By default it is
installed in @onscreen{Program Files} → @onscreen{Racket} →
@onscreen{DrRacket}. On Mac OS, click on the @tt{DrRacket} app either in the
@tt{.dmg} file or where you installed Racket. On Linux or Unix, run the
@tt{drracket} binary.
On Windows, you can access Racket through the Start menu. In Windows Vista or
newer, use the search feature to find the @tt{DrRacket} shortcut. On older
versions of Windows, the shortcut can be found by default in @onscreen{Program
Files} → @onscreen{Racket} → @onscreen{DrRacket}.
On Mac OS, double click on the @tt{DrRacket} icon. It may be in your
Applications folder, or in the @tt{.dmg} that you downloaded.
On Linux or Unix, the @tt{drracket} binary can be run directly from the
command-line if it is in your path. This should be the case if you chose a
Unix-style distribution when installing. Otherwise, navigate to the directory
where the Racket distribution is installed. The @tt{drracket} binary will be
in the @tt{bin} subdirectory.
