How to start with Scala, intelliJ IDEA and SBT?

I downloaded IntelliJ IDEA 14.0.3, SBT, Scala and SBT plugins, set environment variables correctly, i guess (if i can run Scala repl is it correct?)

When i start IntelliJ IDEA and choose new SBT-based project i get some problems:

1) no /src/ folder in project structure. How i can fix that?

2) can't compile manually created Scala file: IDEA suggest me edit configuration with Alt+Shift+F10 then i get window with various settings, so what directly should i edit?

Sorry for possibly stupid questions, but i just want to run miserable

"hello world" in Scala...

The Scala plugin gives you a SBT console i.e. a repl environment so there is no need to install anything other than the Intellij Scala plugin. I would uninstall any other SBT type plugins to make sure they are not interfering. – M.K.
maybe is the SBT download slowly,me too. i also cann't find src directory. – Derek
@user866667, are you using the latest version of Intellij? If not I highly recommend it as it has a setup wizard to get the IDE Scala enabled from the beginning. – M.K.

You don't need any extra plugins besides the Scala plugin. Assuming you have that installed, then

Step One: Fire up IntelliJ and Click on "Create New Project"

Step Two: Choose Scala from the left hand side panel and choose SBT on the right hand side panel (i.e SBT-based Scala project) and click Next.

Step Three: Fill in your project details and click Finish

Step Four: Wait for Intellij to download all SBT dependencies and to construct the folder structure and to index.

Step Five: Begin hacking!
