@item{@bold{Windows} users who havent altered your @envvar{PATH} before: dont panic. To add the Racket command-line programs to your path in Windows 10, click the Windows key and type the word @exec{path} and then click on @onscreen{Edit the System Environment Variables}. Then click on the @onscreen{Environment Variables} button. In the top window, which contains your user variables, find @exec{path} and double-click it to open. Click the @onscreen{New} button and either use the @onscreen{Browse} button to find it, or manually enter the path. Restart your Windows terminal (either the Command Prompt or PowerShell) and now @exec{racket} and @exec{raco} should work.
