Scala Language Setting up Scala Ubuntu Installation via Manual Download and Configuration
Example
Download your preferred version from Lightbend with curl:
curl -O http://downloads.lightbend.com/scala/2.xx.x/scala-2.xx.x.tgz
Unzip the tar file to /usr/local/share or /opt/bin:
unzip scala-2.xx.x.tgz
mv scala-2.xx.x /usr/local/share/scala
Add the PATH to ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc by including this text to one of those files:
$SCALA_HOME=/usr/local/share/scala
export PATH=$SCALA_HOME/bin:$PATH
To verify that it is installed correctly, in the terminal command prompt:
which scala
The response returned should be the equivalent to what you placed in your PATH variable. To verify that scala is working:
scala
This should start the Scala REPL, and report the version (which, in turn, should match the version you downloaded).
