@title[#:tag "compile"]{Compilation and Configuration: @exec{raco}}
The @exec{raco} (short for ``@bold{Ra}cket @bold{co}mmand'') program
provides a command-line interface to many additional tools for
compiling Racket programs and maintaining a Racket installation.
@itemize[
@item{@exec{raco make} compiles Racket source to bytecode.
For example, if you have a program @filepath{take-over-world.rkt} and
you'd like to compile it to bytecode, along with all of its
dependencies, so that it loads more quickly, then run
@commandline{raco make take-over-the-world.rkt}
The bytecode file is written as @filepath{take-over-the-world_rkt.zo}
in a @filepath{compiled} subdirectory; @index[".zo"]{@filepath{.zo}}
is the file suffix for a bytecode file.}
@item{@exec{raco setup} manages a Racket installation, including
manually installed packages.
For example, if you create your own library @techlink{collection}
called @filepath{take-over}, and you'd like to build all bytecode and
documentation for the collection, then run
@commandline{raco setup take-over}}
@item{@exec{raco planet} manages packages that are normally
downloaded automatically, on demand.
For example, if you'd like to see a list of @|PLaneT| packages that
are currently installed, then run
@commandline{raco planet show}}
