1 Quick Start
To get started with Rhombus:
Install Racket.
To try out Rhombus quickly, it may be easiest to install a snapshot Racket with Rhombus included. For less common machine types or for long-term support, however, a Regular Racket release is the best option.
Depending on your operating system, you may be able to install through its package manager, but the Racket download site is always a fine option.
Installation will give you the DrRacket programming environment and command-line programs racket and raco.
Install the rhombus package for Racket.
This step is not needed if you installed a snapshot with Rhombus included.
In DrRacket, select the Install Package... item in the File menu. Alternatively, on the command line, use
raco pkg install rhombus
Type your first Rhombus program into the top area of DrRacket,
"Hello, World!"
and click the Run button.
For alternatives and other ways of working with Rhombus, see Building and Running Rhombus Programs.
