You're almost done setting up your environment - there's one more optional tool.

The Scala Build Tool, or sbt, is an open-source tool to assist in the compilation of Scala applications. It is similar to Java tools such as Maven or Ant. It is very popular in the Scala community and is used by multiple frameworks.

While it is optional, we recommend you look at installing it and familiarizing yourself with using it for compilation. The best way to install it on your platform can be found at the scala-sbt.org site.

Now that you're all set up, it's time to move on the the basics of Scala!
