Not able to install Scala 2.13 using apt-get

  • 772

I am using Ubuntu 18.04

I run the following command

sudo apt-get install scala

This installs scala 2.11.12

but this is an outdated version. The real version of the programming language is 2.13.0

I googled and googled but everything points to very old and outdated articles.

apt scala

  1. As the OP noted, running apt-get installs an old version of Scala, and a solution it to use SDKMan instead.

    Install SdkMan (https://sdkman.io/)

    curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash

    Use sdkman to install scala

    sdk install scala 2.13.8
