Installation of Racket is simple on Mac but there's missing info for newcomers.

  • The Racket download page defaults to the 32-bit build for OS X, but there's a 64-bit build available. Why not the 64-bit build? I went for the latter, hoping it won't come back to bite me later.
  • The "easy steps" on Pollen's main page advise to 1) install Racket then 2) do raco pkg install pollen on the command line, I guess I have to manually add Racket's stuff to my PATH though.
