# Compilation and Configuration: `raco`
The `raco` \(short for “**Ra**cket **co**mmand”\) program provides a
command-line interface to many additional tools for compiling Racket
programs and maintaining a Racket installation.
*`raco make` compiles Racket source to bytecode.
For example, if you have a program `"take-over-world.rkt"` and you’d
like to compile it to bytecode, along with all of its dependencies, so
that it loads more quickly, then run
`raco make take-over-the-world.rkt`
The bytecode file is written as `"take-over-the-world_rkt.zo"` in a
`"compiled"` subdirectory; `".zo"` is the file suffix for a bytecode
file.
*`raco setup` manages a Racket installation, including manually
installed packages.
For example, if you create your own library collection called
`"take-over"`, and you’d like to build all bytecode and documentation
for the collection, then run
`raco setup take-over`
*`raco pkg` manages packages that can be installed through the Racket
package manager.
For example, to see the list of installed packages run:
`raco pkg show`
To install a new package named `<package-name>` run:
`raco pkg install <package-name>`
See \[missing\] for more details about package management.
