Tools for Scala Assignments

Scala builds on top of the JVM; we need a Java SDK and a Scala Build System

• Java SDK
• SBT Scala build system

Install Java SDK

• Install Java 8 SDK or Java 11 SDK
  • Download and install either Java 8 or Java 11.
  • Confirm correct version of java and javac, see in your PATH environment variable (see worksheet).

SBT

• SBT is a popular build automation system for Scala
• SBT compiles and invokes tests on Java/Scala code
• Download and extract SBT
• Add absolute path containing sbt/bin to PATH (see worksheet Java and C for information on PATH)
• Download and extract the assignments archive
• Change into the extract assignments directory
• Use dir or ls to check build.sbt is in current directory
• Run: sbt
