If I have Scala plugin installed in intellij, can i acces it globally?

Question

I'm just getting started with scala, and im using intellij.

I have just installed the plugin with the tool in intellij, and this now works.

But i would like to also maybe run Scala from cmd. Is it necessary for me to download Scala via the browser also? or could I just add scala in intellij to enviorment variables, and have it working?

Answer 1

I think you can.

Intellij IDEA can install scala plugin with scala sdk and sbt. If you have sbt somewhere, you can find and run it.

I was able to find my installation by opening the existing sbt project, then go to Project structure -> Modules -> sbt there would be the path.

I find myself path like this - jar:file:/C:/Users/UserName/AppData/Local/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/IDEA-U/ch-0/193.6015.39.plugins/Scala/launcher/sbt-launch.jar

You can start sbt by java -jar sbt-launch.jar.
