Installing sbt
We validate our editorial work using programs written in Scala. You don’t need to install Scala separately, however. We’ll use the simple build tool, sbt
, to find code libraries automatically, including Scala.
To install sbt :
- First install a full Java JDK (software development kit). (Note that this is different from Java plugins for your web browser, which you may already have installed.) You can find a JDK for your operating system at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
- Download and install sbt from http://www.scala-sbt.org/ (OS X users: if you download the
zip
ortgz
file, make suresbt/bin
is on your CLASSPATH.)
