In this post, I’m going to walk you through the process of installing SBT on Ubuntu machine. SBT is an open-source build tool for Scala and Java projects, similar to Java’s Maven and Ant.
STEPS:
Update and Upgrade Ubuntu
Lets first update and upgrade Ubuntu with the commands shown below
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
Installing Java
Install the default JDK with the command:
sudo apt-get install default-jdk -y
Install Scala
Next step is to install Scala. To do this, download the necessary .deb file from Scala archive
wget www.scala-lang.org/files/archive/scala-2.13.1.deb
Then install the downloaded package with the command:
sudo dpkg -i scala*.deb
To make sure scala is installed, type the command scala to enter the scala prompt. To exit scala prompt type command :q or :quit
Install SBT
Now it’s time to install SBT. First add the necessary repository with the command:
echo "deb https://dl.bintray.com/sbt/debian /" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sbt.list
Add the public key for the installation with the command:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 2EE0EA64E40A89B84B2DF73499E82A75642AC823
Update apt with the command:
sudo apt-get update
Finally, install sbt with the command:
sudo apt-get install sbt -y
Once the installation is complete, test to make sure all is working with the command:
sbt test
