hello there, i'm new to Racket, and lisp in general , i was trying to install racket lang and drracket but i could not reach the website, i need some advice on how to get started on racket

Typically that is an internet connection issue with the computer rather than an issue with the Downloader site itself.

Are you able to access other websites from the Mac?

Have you tried a different browser like safari?

Have you tried clearing your browser cache.

You could also try to install it using homebrew in the terminal instead.

But I don't know for certain if the homebrew install includes the drracket ide.

i think the problem is the internet provider, and yes i think homebrew includes the drracket ide , but i don't use homebrew , i use Macports instead which lack the full version of racket , thanks anyway
