distribution is recommended, instead of the selected Source distribution.
The Source + built packages distribution includes pre-built,
platform-independent bytecode; it installs much faster than
plain source, and it is also compatible with fast installs of
additional Racket packages.

Windows or Mac OS, download and build a Minimal Racket distribution

with
raco pkg install -i main-distribution
