Install sbt from source

Question

Because in my operating system distribution has not default package sbt, I try compile from source and install sbt package locally (https://github.com/sbt/sbt). Unfortunately I can not do it and I can not find any guide to do this without installed sbt. To compile sbt from source is needed sbt? What can I to do to install sbt from source?

Answer 1

The answer is yes: to build sbt from source, you need to install sbt first (obviously, not from source). There are instructions for Building sbt from source and they start with

Install the current stable binary release of sbt (see Setup), which will be used to build sbt from source.

If you have a concrete problem installing sbt from binaries, you should solve it first. You can ask for help with it in a new question.
