Racket programs runs on many platforms including Linux.

In DrRacket you can choose the "Create Executable..." to package your Racket program with the files needed to run the program (without the user installing Racket).

Since this is a just-for-fun project, they just made installers for Windows and OS X.

If you happen to be on a Linux machine, yes.

If you have, say, an Windows machine - you need a friend to make the executable.
