The sbt new scala command is used to create a new Scala project using the Scala Build Tool (sbt). Here's how you can use this command:
Install sbt: Before you can create a new Scala project using sbt, you need to have sbt installed on your system. You can download and install sbt from the official website: https://www.scala-sbt.org/download.html
Create a New Scala Project: Once sbt is installed, open your terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where you want to create your new Scala project.
Run sbt new scala: To create a new Scala project, you can use the following command:
arduino
Copy code
sbt new scala
This command tells sbt to create a new project template based on the Scala programming language.
Follow the Prompts: After running the command, sbt will prompt you to provide some information about your project, such as the project name, organization, and version. You'll need to answer these prompts to customize your project.
Project Generation: Once you've provided the necessary information, sbt will generate the project structure and files for you. This typically includes a build.sbt file for configuring your project, a src directory for your Scala source code, and other necessary project files.
Build and Run: You can now navigate to your project directory and use sbt to build and run your Scala project. You can use sbt commands like compile, run, and test to manage and build your project.
Here's an example of what the directory structure of your new Scala project might look like:
css
Copy code
my-scala-project/
├── build.sbt
└── src/
└── main/
└── scala/
└── MyScalaApp.scala
Save to grepper
In this example, MyScalaApp.scala would be a Scala source file where you can start writing your Scala code.
The sbt new scala command is a convenient way to set up a new Scala project with sbt, and it helps you get started quickly with Scala development.
