Install sbt on ubuntu [closed]

Question

I have installed sbt on Ubuntu.

:~/bin/sbt/bin$ ls classes    sbt      sbt-launch.jar       target jansi.jar  sbt.bat  sbt-launch-lib.bash  win-sbt 

However, whenever I try to launch sbt (from the same directory where sbt is located) it does not work:

No command 'sbt' found, did you mean:  Command 'skt' from package 'latex-sanskrit' (universe)  Command 'sb2' from package 'scratchbox2' (universe)  Command 'sbd' from package 'cluster-glue' (main)  Command 'mbt' from package 'mbt' (universe)  Command 'sbmt' from package 'atfs' (universe)  Command 'lbt' from package 'lbt' (universe)  Command 'st' from package 'suckless-tools' (universe)  Command 'sb' from package 'lrzsz' (universe) 

I am new to linux and I have no idea how to tackle this issue.

Answer 1

The simplest way of installing SBT on ubuntu is the deb package provided by Typesafe.

Run the following shell commands:

1. wget http://apt.typesafe.com/repo-deb-build-0002.deb
2. sudo dpkg -i repo-deb-build-0002.deb
3. sudo apt-get update
4. sudo apt-get install sbt

And you're done !

Answer 2

It seems like you installed a zip version of sbt, which is fine. But I suggest you install the native debian package if you are on Ubuntu. That is how I managed to install it on my Ubuntu 12.04. Check it out here: http://www.scala-sbt.org/release/docs/Installing-sbt-on-Linux.html Or simply directly download it from here.
