Description

My aim is primarily to set up a portable Racket environment, to realize some smaller applications and have windows 7 or 10 and no rights because of privacy.

  1. in Dr. Racket i didn't found to set the human-language permanently to English (very annoying). This Settings are made in the c:/users/name/appdata/roaming/Racket - so not on my usb stick.

Directory should be set to be on the usb stick (relative ).
Which file (config.rktd, racketrc.rktl, ..?) and how to edit to set this to run in the local directory.

  1. Another feature I would appreciate would be a "single click" to start the jupyter notebook (include
    newest python release) using the racket kernel.

(All of these may be of interest of also other users - so why not implement this settings to DrRacket in general or is this just a silly idea?)

Research direction

Review how DrRacket stores settings under c:/users/name/appdata/roaming/Racket, including the mentioned config.rktd and racketrc.rktl files. Define the scope for portable relative configuration and a single-click Jupyter Notebook start using the Racket kernel, including what completion should look like for both requests.
