Set up local development environment

After getting know the basic concept of Scala language, try to practice in codes.

Scala REPL is provide a shell environment to evaluate expressions in an interactive mode. Please refer to the Download documentation and start a Scala REPL shell.

  • Install Scala via SDKMan!, and execute scala in your terminal.
  • Install Sbt, execute sbt console to launch Scala REPL console.
  • Ammonite is a popular Scala REPL(for Linux users).

Besides, Scastie and ScalaFiddle provide a sandbox to run Scala code snippets in a web browser.

To build a real world application, it is better to use a build tool to manage the project dependencies and build lifecycle.

  • Sbt is the most popular build tools for Scala projects.
  • Alternatively, you can still build Scala with Maven.
  • Gradle officially supports Scala.

To work more productively, you could choose your favorite IDEs or text editors to write Scala codes.

  • Intellij IDEA with Scala plugin
  • Eclipse with Scala IDE
  • VSCode with Metals Scala Plugin
  • Apache NetBeans IDE with nbscala plugin(Not updated to the latest NetBeans and Scala)
