[racket] Installing

.sh files are shell scripts, you typically run them at the command
line.

To install Racket using a shell script installer:
- open a terminal
- type "sh <path-to-the-.sh-installer>", using the right path to the
  installer (where you downloaded it) and press enter.
- Follow the instructions.
