I have a fedora system. I need to install scala. I have searched online and it says to install sbt. I don't want to install sbt. Is there anyway to install just scala. Like is there a command like sudo yum install scala that will solve my problem?

Whats wrong with sudo yum install scala? You don't need sbt to install scala. sbt is just another build tool like maven. – Roman

You should have Java installed:

sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk.x86_64

Then download and install Scala:

wget http://www.scala-lang.org/files/archive/scala-2.11.7.tgz
tar xvf scala-2.11.7.tgz
sudo mv scala-2.11.7 /usr/lib
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/scala-2.11.7 /usr/lib/scala
echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/scala/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
rm scala-2.11.7.tgz
