Install Scala 2.11.7 and sbt 0.13.9 on Ubuntu 14.04

Just a quick guide to install Java 1., Scala 2.11.7 and sbt 0.13.9 on Ubuntu 14.04.

Java 1.8

I want to use Oracle Java 1.8.  To install this on Ubuntu 14.04 takes a few extra steps, like setting it up to auto accept the license.  At any rate here is the procedure.

> echo oracle-java8-installer shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 select true | sudo /usr/bin/debconf-set-selections   > echo "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list  > echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java.list  > sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys EEA14886  > sudo apt-get update  > sudo apt-get -y install oracle-java8-installer

Check it

> java -version

Scala 2.11.7

Scala download page http://www.scala-lang.org/download/all.html

and the specific page http://www.scala-lang.org/download/2.11.7.html

Copy the Hyperlink to scala-2.11.7.tgz

> wget http://downloads.typesafe.com/scala/2.11.7/scala-2.11.7.tgz

Untar/gunzip it

> tar -xvf scala-2.11.7.tgz

Move scala to /usr/lib/scala

> sudo mkdir /usr/lib/scala   > sudo mv scala-2.11.7 /usr/lib/scala/

Set up scala

> sudo touch /usr/bin/scala   > sudo ln -fs /usr/lib/scala/scala-2.11.7/bin/scala /usr/bin/scala

Set up scalac

> sudo touch /usr/bin/scalac   > sudo ln -fs /usr/lib/scala/scala-2.11.7/bin/scalac /usr/bin/scalac

Test it

> scala -version   > scalac -version

sbt 0.13.9

sbt download page http://www.scala-sbt.org/download.html

Copy the Link Address.

Download sbt 0.13.9

> wget https://dl.bintray.com/sbt/native-packages/sbt/0.13.9/sbt-0.13.9.tgz

Untar/gunzip it

> tar -xvf sbt-0.13.9.tgz

Move scala to /usr/lib/sbt

> sudo mkdir /usr/lib/sbt   > sudo mv sbt /usr/lib/sbt/sbt-0.13.9

Set up sbt

> sudo touch /usr/bin/sbt   > sudo ln -fs /usr/lib/sbt/sbt-0.13.9/bin/sbt /usr/bin/sbt

Test it

> sbt -version

It starts to download the jar files it needs.

Clean up

> rm sbt-0.13.9.tgz   > rm scala-2.11.7.tgz

All in one script

Create this script

> vi install_java_scala_sbt.sh

Chmod and run it

> chmod u+x install_java_scala_sbt.sh   > sudo ./install_java_scala_sbt.sh

I also made this script into a gist on github at
