Sorting out environment variables
- To get Scala and Netbeans working in the University labs, first add these lines to your
~/.bashrcfile:
export SCALA_HOME=/opt/scala-2.8.1.final export PATH=$PATH:/opt/scala-2.8.1.final/bin alias netbeans='netbeans J-Dscala.home=/opt/scala-2.8.1.final/'
- Reload your
~/.bashrcfile in the usual way:
$ source ~/.bashrc
- From now on you MUST start Netbeans from the command line, like this:
$ netbeans
not from the Applications menu. Also, you may see an error message about the Scala directory, just ignore this.
Installing the plugins
- Remember the version of Netbeans installed in the lab is 2.8
- Get the Scala plugins from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/erlybird/files/nb-scala/6.8v1.1.0rc2b/
- Save them somewhere and unzip them (right click on the .zip file and select Extract here).
- Open Netbeans from the command line:
$ netbeans
Ignore any error messages about the Scala directories.
- Go to Tools -> Plugins on the menu.
- Select the Downloaded tab.
- Click on the Add plugins button.
- In the dialog box that opens up, go to the directory where you unzipped the Scala plugins. Select ALL the files in the directory and press OK.
- Say yes to all the questions and install.
- Close Netbeans and open it up again (from the command line!).
