[plt-scheme] question from a newbie regarding the import of a library

PLaneT is designed so you don't have to download files and fiddle with 
names and paths yourself. DrScheme will download the files, put them in 
the right place, compile them, install their documentation, etc 
automatically.

1 Open a fresh DrScheme window (make sure the language is Module or 
Pretty Big)
2 Go to the Interactions area (the bottom part of the editor, with the 
prompt)
3 Execute that require line:
     (require (planet dfriedman/miniKanren:1:1/minikanren))

That's it! You now have minikanren installed (DrScheme shows a message 
saying so at the bottom of the window), and you can use it immediately 
in the interactions area. To develop a program with minikanren, copy the 
require line up to the definitions area (the top part).

Take a look at the Quick Introduction to PLT Scheme with Pictures, 
especially the part about modules:

   http://docs.plt-scheme.org/quick/index.html#(part._.Modules)

And then perhapse browse the Guide for more information:

   http://docs.plt-scheme.org/guide/index.html

You have local copies of this documentation and more: select the "Help" 
menu and click "Help Desk".

Hope that helps!
