Yes, you need to run anarki with racket. I typically simply install racket, clone anarki, cd into that dir, and then run:
$ racket -f as.scm
Does that work for you?

"bash: ./racket: No such file or directory"
Weird indeed. What do you get if you type this in?
$ file `which racket`
What version of linux or macos are you on? (If you're on windows that's beyond my experience.)

I just searched anarki and I don't seem to have leaked my homedir in the scripts or anything like that. Did you deliberately create that /home/akkartik directory?
I'm sure there's a 32-bit version you can download.
"Can I ask why anarki does not work with mzscheme 372? Arc works with it."
Yeah, I misspoke. I meant that I don't know if anarki works with mzscheme because I haven't tried it in forever and the default anarki instructions are to use racket.
I'm pretty sure it won't work with v372, that's a really old version. I believe pairs used to be mutable by default back then. Or perhaps they were immutable, but that was a big transition and I'm sure there were bugfixes.
And if you're going to install a more recent version of racket, might as well just run racket since it gets the most eyeballs on bugs. The community seems to have converged on racket as well. Testing resources are scarce; easier to just focus on one configuration.
Edit: Hmm, I run mint which is based on debian. What am I doing? I think I just downloaded the ubuntu version. It's not like it's a real deb and installs in system dirs anyway.
