#Using the Play Framework

##Installation

Install the Play Framework with Homebrew.

brew install typesafe-activator

##Setup a Play app in Intellij Community Edition

Create a new Scala based Play app called 'playtest' and set it up for Intellij.

activator new playtest play-scala
cd playtest
activator idea

Open Intellij and select 'Open Project'. Navigate to and select the 'playtest' directory.

##Run the app

In Intellij, once you've opened the playtest app, open an Intellij Terminal instance and use the activator to run the app.

activator run

##View the app in your browser

Open a browser and navigate to http://localhost:9000. You can now edit the app in Intellij and when you refresh your browser tab it will refect your edits.
