I have installed sbt on Ubuntu.
:~/bin/sbt/bin$ ls
classes sbt sbt-launch.jar target
jansi.jar sbt.bat sbt-launch-lib.bash win-sbt
However, whenever I try to launch sbt (from the same directory where sbt is located) it does not work:
No command 'sbt' found, did you mean:
Command 'skt' from package 'latex-sanskrit' (universe)
Command 'sb2' from package 'scratchbox2' (universe)
Command 'sbd' from package 'cluster-glue' (main)
Command 'mbt' from package 'mbt' (universe)
Command 'sbmt' from package 'atfs' (universe)
Command 'lbt' from package 'lbt' (universe)
Command 'st' from package 'suckless-tools' (universe)
Command 'sb' from package 'lrzsz' (universe)
I am new to linux and I have no idea how to tackle this issue.
It seems like you installed a zip version of sbt, which is fine. But I suggest you install the native debian package if you are on Ubuntu. That is how I managed to install it on my Ubuntu 12.04. Check it out here: http://www.scala-sbt.org/release/docs/Installing-sbt-on-Linux.html Or simply directly download it from here.
