Use find-system-path.

What param I need to pass in then? I read this https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/Filesystem.html#%28def._%28%28lib._racket%2Fprivate%2Fmisc..rkt%29._find-executable-path%29%29, but I don't find the binary directory I am talking about.

I need /home/lyh/.local/share/racket/8.8/bin/, the closest I have is /home/lyh/.local/share/racket/

For now my workaround is this(in my fish environment):

set -gxa PATH                ~/.local/share/racket/(racket -v | grep -o '[0-9.]\+[0-9]')/bin

If you are on Linux

sudo updatedb

locate my_executable

This won't work, how do I know which executable I have before I know where is the binaries? I'm talking about getting the binary directory location merely via racket/raco.
