The simplest way of installing SBT on ubuntu is the deb package provided by Typesafe.

Run the following shell commands:

wget http://apt.typesafe.com/repo-deb-build-0002.deb
sudo dpkg -i repo-deb-build-0002.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sbt

And you're done !

My guess is that the directory   bin sbt bin is not in your PATH   To execute programs or scripts that are in the current directory you need to prefix the command with     as in     sbt   This is a security feature in linux  so to prevent overriding of system commands  and other programs  by a malicious party dropping a file in your home directory  for example    Imagine a script called  ls  that emails your  etc passwd file to 3rd party before executing the ls command     Or one that executes  rm -rf        That said  unless you need something specific from the latest source code  you re best off doing what paradigmatic said in his post  and install it from the Typesafe repository

As an alternative approach  you can save the SBT Extras script to a file called sbt sh and set the permission to executable  Then add this file to your path  or just put it under your   bin directory   The bonus here  is that it will download and use the correct version of SBT depending on your project properties  This is a nice convenience if you tend to compile open source projects that you pull from GitHub and other

No command sbt found   It s saying that sbt is not on your path  Try to run   sbt from   bin sbt bin or wherever the sbt executable is to verify that it runs correctly  Also check that you have execute permissions on the sbt executable  If this works   then add   bin sbt bin to your path and sbt should run from anywhere   See this question about adding a directory to your path   To verify the path is set correctly use the which command on LINUX  The output will look something like this     which sbt  usr bin sbt   Lastly  to verify sbt is working try running sbt -help or likewise  The output with -help will look something like this     sbt -help Usage  sbt  options     -h   -help         print this message

It seems like you installed a zip version of sbt  which is fine  But I suggest you install the native debian package if you are on Ubuntu  That is how I managed to install it on my Ubuntu 12 04  Check it out here  http   www scala-sbt org release docs Installing-sbt-on-Linux html Or simply directly download it from here
