[SOLVED] Is there anyway to install scala without sbt?

Issue

I have a fedora system. I need to install scala. I have searched online and it says to install sbt. I don't want to install sbt. Is there anyway to install just scala. Like is there a command like sudo yum install scala that will solve my problem?

Solution

You should have Java installed:

sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64

Then download and install Scala:

wget http://www.scala-lang.org/files/archive/scala-2.11.7.tgz
tar xvf scala-2.11.7.tgz
sudo mv scala-2.11.7 /usr/lib
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/scala-2.11.7 /usr/lib/scala
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/scala/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
rm scala-2.11.7.tgz
