I have java 8 server runtime on Debian.
Tried:
dpkg -i scala-2.11.7.deb
scala depends on java6-runtime-headless; however:
Package java6-runtime-headless is not installed.
But is ok:
scala -version
Scala code runner version 2.11.7 -- Copyright 2002-2013, LAMP/EPFL
Now installing SBT from bintray repo:
My Java 8 is deactivated, installs open openjdk-7-* ...
Have to "apt-get purge openjdk-7-*" (wrong way)
EDIT: Problem corrected with:
update-alternatives --config java
Here is the list of commands that I used to install in a clean Debian Jessie instance created using Vagrant:
Install Java 8
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
Edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-java-jessie.list
to replace jessie
with trusty
so that it will have the following line:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/java/ubuntu trusty main
And then execute:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
Confirming that Java 8 is properly installed:
java -version
Which outputs:
java version "1.8.0_72"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_72-b15)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.72-b15, mixed mode)
Installing Scala 2.11.7:
wget -c www.scala-lang.org/files/archive/scala-2.11.7.deb
sudo dpkg -i scala-2.11.7.deb
This works fine to me and, just to confirm that I'm using the most recent version, I've executed:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install scala
And then:
scala -version
Which outputs:
Scala code runner version 2.11.7 -- Copyright 2002-2013, LAMP/EPFL
Install SBT:
wget -c https://bintray.com/artifact/download/sbt/debian/sbt-0.13.9.deb
sudo dpkg -i sbt-0.13.9.deb
Everything works as expected and then I've executed the following commands to ensure that I'm using the most recent version of SBT:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sbt
At this point, Java 8, Scala and SBT were successfully installed on my machine.
