Install Scala using Coursier
Coursier is the Scala artifact fetcher, we will use it to install the standard Scala toolbox.
1. Open a terminal.
2. In the terminal, download the cs file:
curl -fLo cs https://git.io/coursier-cli-"$(uname | tr LD ld)"
3. Make the downloaded file executable with:
chmod +x cs
info
The chmod command does not print anything back to you. That's okay.
Other commands below won't print anything either.
4. Execute the cs file to setup scala:
./cs setup --yes
5. Reload your .profile file:
. ~/.profile
6. Finally, you can remove the coursier file:
rm cs
