Setup of Scala Enviornment

• You can avoid any local setup and run example online with the help of Scastie
• You can download Scala distro and run examples on REPL
• You can also do complete Scala Dev Enviornment setup using Eclipse IDE and SBT
  • Scala Build Tool Setup
    • Best build tool for Scala is sbt
      
    • Download setup in your desired compression format (zip or tgz)
    • Decompress the downloaded file to local directory. Ex:/download/path-to-sbt
    • Update PATH variable to include sbt Ex:[adixit@marcus ~]$ export PATH=$PATH:/download/path-to-sbt/bin
  • Eclipse IDE Setup
    • Download Scala Eclipse
    • Inside your local scala-src project. Execute sbt command: [adixit@marcus ~]$ sbt eclipse
    • Last step will download all required libraries and generate Eclipse configurations
    • When last step is done, use Eclipse import project command and import your scala-src project

Setup of Code Samples

• login if you have a Github account or signup, if your don't have. If you do not want to create a Github account, just download the scala-src as zip, using tiny green button at right side
• After login at Github, go to project scala-srcand fork the repository
• A similar repository will be available in your code space. This is going to be your personal play area.
• Setup Github on your local enviornment. Download Github Desktop for Windows/Mac or use Git Command Line
