To run your first Scala program, you will need to follow these simple steps:
Install Scala: If you have not already, you need to install Scala on your system. You can refer to the previous instructions for installing Scala on your operating system.
Choose a Text Editor or IDE: You can use any text editor or IDE that supports Scala. Some popular choices include IntelliJ IDEA, Visual Studio Code with Scala Metals, or Eclipse with the Scala IDE plugin.
Write Your First Scala Program: Open your preferred text editor or IDE and create a new file with a .scala
extension. You can start with a simple "Hello, World!" program:
scalaobject HelloWorld { def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = { println("Hello, World!") } }
Save the File: Save the file with a .scala
extension, for example, HelloWorld.scala
.
Run the Scala Program:
HelloWorld.scala
file.scalac HelloWorld.scala
HelloWorld.class
file.scala HelloWorld
Hello, World!
in the terminal.Congratulations! You have successfully run your first Scala program. Now you can continue exploring the language and its features to build more complex applications.
