raco: Install a package, automatically installing dependencies.
$ raco pkg install --auto ${package_source}
try on your machine

The command raco pkg install --auto ${package_source} is used to install a package in the Racket programming language. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • raco is the command-line tool provided by Racket that allows you to manage packages and do various other tasks.
  • pkg install is the specific command within raco used for installing packages.
  • --auto is an option that tells raco to automatically install any dependencies required by the package.
  • ${package_source} is a placeholder for the actual package source that you want to install. You need to replace ${package_source} with the URL or path of the package you want to install.

When you run this command, Racket will download and install the specified package, along with any necessary dependencies. The --auto option ensures that you don't have to manually install the dependencies separately.
