[racket-users] self contained zip file install?
Hi all Is there a plain ZIP file for kind-of installing racket? (must be ZIP - I can't even get a 7zip uninstaller installed). I won't be able to put it in the standard Program Files folder and can't associate rkt files but I'm allowed to set up a plain directory and run from there. I may download and work with files, but I have no admin on this Windows 10 system not even cmd - it's disallowed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.

No powershell, it's very tightly locked down Maybe someone can give feedback (will it work) on this hack Hmmm ... If there's no easy, quick way I'll try to run a windows VM at home, install in that VM, and copy racket from the VM's Windows "Program Files" folder to a USB, and put that on my work machine On Saturday, June 18, 2022 at 2:55:21 PM UTC-4 Bruce O'Neel wrote: > HI, > > So before I would download the minimal windows tar file to a linux system, > untar it, and then zip it back up. > > Then that could be copied to the corporate windows system and unzipped. > And that give a minimal Racket. > > The part that has stopped working is I used to be able to, from cmd, run: > > raco pkg install -i racket-lib > raco pkg install --deps search-auto -i main-distribution > > And I would have a fully working Racket. > > So this required cmd.exe to be run.

[racket-users] raco pkg for a one-directory, moveable installation
Hello all I'm trying to generate an installation that is self-contained, that I can move to another machine just by tar-untar or zip-unzip. The target machine may never be connected to the internet, so if I want to install packages I must follow this procedure. This command .\raco pkg install --scope-dir ../PKGS fails with this message: raco pkg install: cannot link a directory that overlaps with a collection path collection path: C:\sks\bin\rkt85\collects\ link path: C:\sks\bin\rkt85\ as package: rkt85 Any suggestions on how to proceed? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.

Thanks, that fixed it - I had set up a script to do this a while ago but lost it, and forgot that this was in there.
