I'm trying to work through the book Reactive Web Applications, but it seems that it's already a bit out of date in that lightbend activator has been EOL'd so I can't download it (or at least can't figure out how to and probably shouldn't even if I could).
I'm faced with the problem of creating the new project, which in the book would be done via the command
activator new twitter-stream play-scala-2.4
I tried what I though was the equivalent sbt command but got the following error.
urban:playground dhosek$ sbt new playframework/play-scala-seed.g8
[info] Set current project to playground (in build
file:/Users/dhosek/playground/)
[error] Not a valid command: new (similar: set)
[error] Not a valid project ID: new
[error] Expected ':' (if selecting a configuration)
[error] Not a valid key: new (similar: name, run, runner)
[error] new
[error] ^
Any help?
It appears that the problem is that brew installs an old version of sbt.
