Scala and sbt installation on ubuntu 12.04

install_scala_sbt.sh

#!/bin/sh

# one way (older scala version will be installed)
# sudo apt-get install scala

#2nd way
sudo apt-get remove scala-library scala
wget http://www.scala-lang.org/files/archive/scala-2.11.4.deb
sudo dpkg -i scala-2.11.4.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install scala

# sbt installation
# remove sbt:>  sudo apt-get purge sbt.

wget http://dl.bintray.com/sbt/debian/sbt-0.13.6.deb
sudo dpkg -i sbt-0.13.6.deb 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sbt

I am looking for a good way of doing this and I prefer the solutions based on update-alternatives. Also your solution doesn't include the man pages. Thanks for sharing though :)

Nice script. By now there is an official .deb package at http://www.scala-lang.org/files/archive/scala-2.10.3.deb

I do not get it.. above script indeed uses the same .deb package you mentioned. So what is the difference ? Thx

Please update the sbt:

wget http://dl.bintray.com/sbt/debian/sbt-0.13.5.deb
sudo dpkg -i sbt-0.13.5.deb

wget http://www.scala-lang.org/files/archive/scala-2.11.2.deb
sudo dpkg -i scala-2.11.2.deb

Thanks @javadba and @chenrui333

@chenrui333
Thank you !!!...
This is much easier than change system variable manually :)

Thanks! After installing this way though, I get duplicate sources.list entries... is anyone else getting that when doing an sudo apt-get update?

Thanks for idea.

I've made some changes to this script for using java7 dependency instead of java6: https://gist.github.com/maizy/c4d31c1f539694f721f6
It may be useful for someone.

Hey, you've already installed scala and sbt using the deb packages, why do you follow that with "apt-get install" of these packages?

scala: scala-2.11.6.deb
sbt: sbt-0.13.8.deb
