The page about Furtle, a turtle graphics module, is 404 ([https://docs.racket-lang.org/furtle/index.html](https://docs.racket-lang.org/furtle/index.html)). Does Furtle exist?

I assume you are talking about [GitHub - souravdatta/furtle: A functional way of creating turtles · GitHub](https://github.com/souravdatta/furtle)? I don't see it being registered in [https://pkgs.racket-lang.org/](https://pkgs.racket-lang.org/) (or even the older [https://planet.racket-lang.org/](https://planet.racket-lang.org/)), so it makes sense that there's no global doc page under [https://docs.racket-lang.org/](https://docs.racket-lang.org/). You also wouldn't be able to install it using `raco pkg install <package-name>`.

If you really want to use this particular package, you can clone the Git repo locally, and install it from source. It looks like Furtle does have a [Scribble documentation](https://github.com/souravdatta/furtle/blob/master/scribblings/furtle.scrbl), so you will also be able to view its documentation locally too after the installation.

Alternatively, if you just want a Turtle functionality, there are some other alternatives:

- [Turtle Graphics](https://docs.racket-lang.org/turtles/index.html)
- [Racket Turtle](https://docs.racket-lang.org/racket_turtle/index.html)

I think you can also `raco pkg install <Git URL>` as long as it’s formatted correctly (really any package source; see the docs for various spellings). This works for dependencies in info.rkt, too.

(Btw, isn’t installing from the catalog mostly installing from source, too? Unless there’s a way to get binary packages from the server…)
