During the first ScalaBridge NYC workshop, one of the attendees was unable to perform the setup on Ubuntu, and none of the volunteers could figure it out, either. There were issues installing the correct packages - for instance, OpenJDK installation instructions do not work.
Even more confusing is that there are two different setup instructions (for Windows, OSX, and Linux). In this particular example, these instructions did not work, and the Creative Scala setup instructions are unhelpful:
It would be great if someone could perform a full installation on Ubuntu and document the process with explicit instructions, including:
- Correct packages to download, and how to always get the latest version
- How to install the packages (i.e. whether to download
.deb files, use a ppa, or install using apt)
- How to upgrade from an earlier version (for example, this attendee had version 2.9.2 of Scala installed - hard to tell if existing Scala version caused a problem with installation)
@DiannaB42 please let me know if I've missed anything!
