1 First, make sure you have the Java 8 JDK (or Java 11 JDK) installed. To check, open the terminal and type: java -version (Make sure you have version 1.8 or 11.) (If you don't have it installed, download Java from Oracle Java 8, Oracle Java 11, or AdoptOpenJDK 8/11. Refer JDK Compatibility for Scala/Java compatiblity detail.

2 Then, install Scala: ...either by installing an IDE such as IntelliJ, or sbt, Scala's build tool.

Compared to other programming languages, installing Scala is a bit unusual. Scala is unusual because it is usually installed for each of your Scala projects rather than being installed system-wide. Both of the above options manage (via sbt) a specific Scala version per Scala project you create.



But it's also possible to "install" Scala in numerous other ways; e.g., grab Scala binaries and use Scala from the command line or use Scala in your browser!
