How to install sbt for scala on Fedora Linux? It is not included in the default Fedora repository although scala is included.

The download page of scala-sbt.org provides the RPM package.

You can install the sbt rpm package by yum. We only need the URL to the RPM package. Here, let take version 0.13.1 as a example.

#  yum localinstall 
http://repo.scala-sbt.org/scalasbt/sbt-native-packages/org/scala-sbt/sbt/0.13.1/sbt.rpm

yum will download the package and install it.

After installation, you can run

$ sbt

and sbt will download and configure itself.
