Your Scala Setup (Video)

Option 1: Install Scala CLI

• How to install
• The Scala-CLI website
• Show download options
• Mac/Windows/Linux installs
• scala-cli is becoming the new scala

Option 2: Scastie

• The Scastie website
• Works like the REPL
• Need to use println more
• Configuration options
• Mention that it uses sbt
  • Also sends your code somewhere to be compiled

If you want to start with Scastie, that’s fine. Will need to use scala-cli later for scripts and applications.

Exercises and examples
