Install Scala with cs setup (recommended)
To install Scala, it is recommended to use cs setup,
the Scala installer powered by Coursier. It installs everything necessary to use the latest Scala release from a
command line:
Run the following command in your terminal, following the on-screen instructions:
brew install coursier/formulas/coursier && cs setupOn the Apple Silicon (M1, M2, …) architecture:
curl -fL https://github.com/VirtusLab/coursier-m1/releases/latest/download/cs-aarch64-apple-darwin.gz | gzip -d > cs && chmod +x cs && (xattr -d com.apple.quarantine cs || true) && ./cs setupOtherwise, on the x86-64 architecture:
curl -fL https://github.com/coursier/coursier/releases/latest/download/cs-x86_64-apple-darwin.gz | gzip -d > cs && chmod +x cs && (xattr -d com.apple.quarantine cs || true) && ./cs setupRun the following command in your terminal, following the on-screen instructions.
On the x86-64 architecture:
curl -fL https://github.com/coursier/coursier/releases/latest/download/cs-x86_64-pc-linux.gz | gzip -d > cs && chmod +x cs && ./cs setupOtherwise, on the ARM64 architecture:
curl -fL https://github.com/VirtusLab/coursier-m1/releases/latest/download/cs-aarch64-pc-linux.gz | gzip -d > cs && chmod +x cs && ./cs setupDownload and execute the Scala installer for Windows based on Coursier, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Follow the documentation from Coursier on how to install and run cs setup.
Check your setup with the command scala -version, which should output:
$ scala -version
