Install sbt on ubuntu

Question

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.

Answer 1

The simplest way of installing SBT on ubuntu is the deb package provided by Typesafe.

Run the following shell commands:

1. wget http://apt.typesafe.com/repo-deb-build-0002.deb
2. sudo dpkg -i repo-deb-build-0002.deb
3. sudo apt-get update
4. sudo apt-get install sbt

And you're done !
