Scala 2.11.0 is released today and I already updated.

I’m using svm (Scala Version Manager) that can be dropped from the github anyone. This tool is built by  Japanese programmer @yuroyoro.

 

Install coreutils

The svm needs coreutils that is the basic file, shell and text manipulation utilities of the GNU operating system. Do this command if you don’t install it yet.

brew install coreutils --default-names

 

Install svm, and Scala

Download svm written by @yuroyoro from github, and copy to /usr/local/bin .

Change the permission to 755.

chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/svm

Add this lines to .profile.

export SCALA_HOME=~/.svm/current/rt
export PATH=$SCALA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Are you ready? Do an action to install.

svm install 2.10.4

 

Update Scala to 2.11

svm install 2.11

After the install the 2.11, the svm says: Do you want to change current runtime version to 2.11?
Of course, you’ll say: y (yes)

 

Switch back to 2.10.4 if you want

This is a usage of the svm, you can switch back to 2.10.4 easily with svm command.
