How to install packages for racket?

Question

I'm Ubuntu OS user. I'm trying install package for racket as following command

$ raco pkg install sicp

But When I ran this command in my system, I got an unexpected error as given below

$ raco pkg install sicp
ssl-connect: connect failed (error:14077438:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert internal error)

I don't understand, why it is happening? Please help me to solve this error.

Hang on... what version of DrRacket are you running? If it's something ancient like 5.3.1, this could explain your problem. — John Clements, Oct 06 '16 at 17:02
Yes, as @JohnClements suggests, I have only seen this error on old versions of Racket. — Alexis King, Oct 06 '16 at 19:56
Thanks guys. I have installed an updated version. And problem is solved. Cheers! — james, Oct 07 '16 at 15:46
And if you can't update the version the linked answer has a backup solution using the old planet code. — Sylwester, Oct 07 '16 at 15:57

It looks almost like you don't have a internet connection when you are runing this. I tried to do the same and get the following successful install:

Thanks Sylwester. Problem was actually because of older version. It solved now. — james, Oct 07 '16 at 15:48
