Installing Typesafe activator on OSX

Question

I am trying to install the typesafe activator (scala, AKKA, play framework, activator)

I have Yosemite OSX

My bash is Oh my ZSH

I already have JDK 1.7, installed and exported

I downloaded and unzipped the file "typesafe-activator-1.2.10-minimal". Finally I put the export path on my ~/.zshrc

but when I type activator on the terminal it prints that cant find the file

thank you

Answer 1

For people like me, who are reading this in 2019 (or later) and are unable to find activator recipee in homebrew, be informed that activator has been decommissioned

Good news is, it's fairly simple to create new projects (including templates for play, akka etc.) with sbt new command and Giter8 templates.

Answer 2

get HomeBrew. play documentation says this : Play install on mac

But there have been some changes to that. Now you have to do this.

Try this:

brew install typesafe-activator

And then use activator command to start it
