   $ mkdir build_racket
   

2. Then, we need to download the source code of Racket. We can do this by using the wget command to download the installer script from the official website

   $ wget https://download.racket-lang.org/releases/8.16/installers/racket-8.16-x86_64-linux-cs.sh

   $ sh racket-8.16-x86_64-linux-cs.sh
   

4. Finally, we can add racket to our PATH environment variable

   $ export PATH=$PATH:~/build_racket/bin
