如何安装Scala软件

Question

I want to use a tool written by Scala but I have no experience with Scala.

The tool I want to use is from https://github.com/allenai/pdffigures2 . It told me how to install the tool in the readme but I can not understand.

It said I need

     resolvers += Resolver.bintrayRepo("allenai", "maven")

And then include

      libraryDependencies += "org.allenai" %% "pdffigures2" % "0.0.11"

what does that mean, where should I add them? I am on Ubuntu. It would be kind if someone can tell me how to install this tool step by step, currently, there is not Scala in my computer.

Answer 1

Install sbt (Scala build tool) from here: http://www.scala-sbt.org/

Create a new Project with

sbt new scala/scala-seed.g8
cd <project_name>
vi build.sbt

Add your lines to this build.sbt. After that you can use the commands given in the section "Command Line Tools" of pdffigures2

Edit: Just saw that the library is only available for Scala 2.11. Could you change the scala version in build.sbt as follows:

scalaVersion := "2.11.11",
