@item{@bold{Windows} users: when you see instructions that reference @exec{racket} or @exec{raco}, I'll trust you to convert into the appropriate command for your system. Assuming defaults, it's likely to be @filepath{C:\Program Files\Racket\raco} (include the surrounding quotes in the command).}
@item{Update the @envvar{PATH} environment variable on your system to include the directory that holds the racket application. On @bold{Mac OS} and @bold{Linux}, this path will be something like @exec{"/path/to/racket/bin"}. On @bold{Windows}, it’ll be something like @exec{"C:\Program Files\Racket71\"}. Then, from the terminal, you’ll be able to run @exec{racket} and @exec{raco} (see @other-doc['(lib "scribblings/raco/raco.scrbl")]).}
@item{@bold{Linux} and @bold{Mac OS} users: update your system @envvar{PATH} variable to include the path to Racket's newly installed @filepath{bin} directory. Then, from the terminal, you'll be able to run @exec{racket} and @exec{raco} (see @other-doc['(lib "scribblings/raco/raco.scrbl")]).}
@item{@bold{Windows} users who haven’t altered your @envvar{PATH} before: don’t panic. Follow @link["https://www.opentechguides.com/how-to/article/windows-10/113/windows-10-set-path.html"]{these instructions}.}
@item{@bold{Mac OS} users who haven't altered your @envvar{PATH} before: don't panic. You need to add the full path of Racket's @filepath{bin} subdirectory to the @filepath{/etc/paths} file on your system.

First, confirm that your Racket installation works. Open your new Racket directory and launch DrRacket. If DrRacket works, then your Racket installation is sound.
Second, verify the full path to the @filepath{bin} subdirectory of your new Racket directory. If you put this directory in @filepath{Applications} as recommended, the path will be:
Third, copy the terminal command below, paste it into your terminal, and type return. (It will ask you for your password, because the @filepath{paths.d} directory is restricted to administrators.)
@terminal{sudo sh -c 'echo "/Applications/Racket v@(short-version)/bin" >> /etc/paths.d/racket'
}
Of course, @filepath{/Applications/Racket v@(short-version)/bin} in this command should be edited as necessary to represent the actual location and version of your Racket installation.}
