I am learning functional programming on Coursera with Scala. To attempt an assignment, I need to start 'sbt' in a project directory. I am following the instructions here: https://class.coursera.org/progfun-004/assignment/view?assignment_id=2
This is the error I got. I am sure that there's a build.sbt file and src folder within the project directory, but somehow sbt fails on me. Any ideas?
