try on your machine

The command "raco pkg install" is used in the Racket programming language to install Racket packages.

Racket is a general-purpose programming language that supports multiple paradigms, including functional and object-oriented programming. It comes with a package manager called "Raco" that allows users to easily install and manage external libraries or packages.

When running the command "raco pkg install", it instructs Raco to install the specified package. This command can be followed by the name of a specific package to install, for example:

raco pkg install mypackage

If the package is available in the Racket package repository, Raco will download and install it. The installation process involves fetching the necessary files, dependencies, and configuring the package for use in your Racket environment.

This command is typically used when you want to extend the functionality of your Racket installation by adding new libraries or packages developed by others. It allows you to easily incorporate existing code into your projects and leverage the work done by other Racket developers.
