Collection not found

[jsampson45]

I am new to Racket. I tried to install metapict using file / Package Manager in DrRacket. As far as I could see no error messages appeared during the apparent installation but when I "run" #lang metapict there is a long error message:

standard-module-name-resolver: collection not found for module path: metapict/lang/reader collection: "metapict/lang" in collection directories: C:\Users\jrsid\AppData\Roaming\Racket\8.14\collects C:\Program Files\Racket\collects\ ... [183 additional linked and package directories] packages that provide the missing module: . metapict .

Where do I go from here?

@jsampson45 The issue is that metapict isn't a new language, but a library. You can start you programs like this:

#lang racket
(require metapict)
(draw (rectangle (pt 0 0) (pt 1 1)))

Invoked like this, the rectangle commands draws a rectangle where the two points are opposite corners.
