How to Contribute

Setting up tools

1. Getting Git

To install git in Linux-like systems you can do it via your native package management system:

$ yum install git

or:

$ sudo apt-get install git

In both Mac 10.4 and 10.5, you can install Git via MacPorts

$ sudo port install git

For Windows, install git from here http://msysgit.github.io/

2. Getting sbt

Linux

1. Download sbt from here: http://scalasbt.artifactoryonline.com/scalasbt/sbt-native-packages/org/scala-sbt/sbt/0.12.2/sbt.tgz
2. Unpack the archive to a directory of your choice
3. Add the bin/ directory to the PATH environment variable. Open the file ~/.bashrc in an editor (create it if it doesn’t exist) and add the following line export PATH=/PATH/TO/YOUR/sbt/bin:$PATH

Verify that sbt is installed correctly: Open a new terminal (to apply the changed .bashrc) and type sbt -h, you should see a help message from sbt.

Mac OS X

If you use the homebrew package manager, simply type brew update and then brew install sbt in a Terminal prompt.

Otherwise, install sbt by following these steps:

1. Download sbt from here: http://scalasbt.artifactoryonline.com/scalasbt/sbt-native-packages/org/scala-sbt/sbt/0.12.2/sbt.tgz
2. Unpack the archive to a directory of your choice
3. Add the bin/ directory to the PATH environment variable. Open the file ~/.bash_profile in an editor (create it if it doesn’t exist) and add the following line export PATH=/PATH/TO/YOUR/sbt/bin:$PATH

Verify that sbt is installed correctly: Open a new terminal (to apply the changed .bashrc) and type sbt -h, you should see a help message from sbt.

Windows

1. Download the sbt installer from here: http://scalasbt.artifactoryonline.com/scalasbt/sbt-native-packages/org/scala-sbt/sbt/0.12.2/sbt.msi
2. Run the installer

Verify that sbt is installed correctly: open the Command Prompt and type sbt sbt-version, you should see the version number of sbt.

If you have problems installing sbt, ask for help on the mailing list or on our IRC channel at #spire-math on freenode.
