Racket is available from a variety of package repositories but they are not always kept up-to-date.

The good news is thanks to a [number of very kind and hardworking maintainers](https://racket.discourse.group/t/racket-v8-6-released/1222/2) a number of package repositories have already updated their instance of Racket to v8.6:

- [Racket Snap](https://snapcraft.io/racket)
- [Void Linux](https://repology.org/repository/void_x86_64)
- [Scoop](https://repology.org/repository/scoop) ‘A command-line installer for Windows’ (racket, minimal-racket)
- [openSUSE Tumbleweed](https://repology.org/repository/opensuse_tumbleweed)
- [OpenBSD Ports](https://repology.org/repository/openbsd) ‘racket-minimal’
- [nixpkgs unstable](https://repology.org/repository/nix_unstable) ( [racket](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-unstable/pkgs/development/interpreters/racket/default.nix#L140), [racket-minimal](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-unstable/pkgs/development/interpreters/racket/minimal.nix#L13) )
- [LiGurOS develop](https://repology.org/repository/liguros_develop)
- [LiGurOS stable](https://repology.org/repository/liguros_stable)
- [Homebrew Casks](https://repology.org/repository/homebrew_casks)
- [Homebrew](https://repology.org/repository/homebrew) ([minimal-racket](https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/minimal-racket) )
- [Gentoo](https://repology.org/repository/gentoo)
- [Chocolatey](https://repology.org/repository/chocolatey)

I’d like to give package maintainers some early notification of releases so if your are a maintainer (or could put me in touch) please let me know.

Best regards  
Stephen
