[SOLVED] Install sbt on ubuntu

Issue

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.

Solution

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.
