Installing Almond (Jupyter Scala) kernel

Scala Kernel Instructions for MacOS

Note: These instructions are over 3 years old. Please consult the Scala docs and the Almond docs for up-to-date instructions.

1. Download Scala https://www.scala-lang.org/download/

   • check Java version (java -version)
   • Install Scala sbt brew install sbt@1

     You can use $SBT_OPTS to pass additional JVM options to sbt.
     Project specific options should be placed in .sbtopts in the root of your project.
     Global settings should be placed in /usr/local/etc/sbtopts
     

2. Install coursier

   brew install --HEAD coursier/formulas/coursier

3. Install almond

   • git clone https://github.com/willingc/almond.git

   • edit project/plugin.sbt

     • add addSbtPlugin("io.get-coursier" % "sbt-coursier" % "1.1.0-SNAPSHOT")

   • bootstrap install

     coursier bootstrap \
     →     -i user -I user:sh.almond:scala-kernel-api_$SCALA_VERSION:$ALMOND_VERSION \
     →     sh.almond:scala-kernel_$SCALA_VERSION:$ALMOND_VERSION \
     →     -o almond
     

   • ./almond --install

Also wrt step 3, where should the line be added in that file? beginning or end or doesn't matter.
Here is what was already in the file after I cloned the repo

addSbtPlugin("com.geirsson" % "sbt-ci-release" % "1.2.2")
addSbtCoursier

Also, wrt step 3, the bootstrap install step doesn't say where to run the courier command? home directory? or inside the cloned repo.

@jimka2001 I would consult the Almond docs. This gist is over 3 years old, and I haven't used Scala in about the same time. Good luck!
