==Installation==

===USE flags===

{{USEflag|package=dev-scheme/racket}}

===Emerge===

{{Emerge|dev-scheme/racket}}


==Removal==

===Unmerge===

{{Unmerge|dev-scheme/racket}}

===Cleanup===

If you were installing manually any Racket packages in the installation scope,
then they might have created some files inside "/usr/share/racket/pkgs".

You can clean up those files by removing them with "rm".

{{RootCmd|rm -r /usr/share/racket/pkgs}}


==Installing Racket packages==

===Via Raco===

Raco is the built-in package manager of Racket,
it can install packages via "raco pkg install" command.

Please use the switch "--user" to install packages in the "user scope".
Installation in user scope should be the default but it can be also
configured to install packages globally,
in the "installation scope"

===via Portage===

To install Racket packages in the installation scope in a more controlled way,
users may wish to use Portage for this task.
Currently this is one of the aims of the
"[https://gentoo-racket.gitlab.io/ Gentoo-Racket]"
project.

Gentoo-Racket is maintaining the
[https://gitlab.com/gentoo-racket/gentoo-racket-overlay/ Gentoo-Racket overlay]
on the official GitLab instance.

The overlay can be installed by using the
"[https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Eselect/Repository eselect-repository]"
tool:

{{RootCmd|eselect repository enable racket-overlay}}
