In Ubuntu terminal when I write the command below:
scala -version
It gives the following Output:
Scala code runner version 2.9.2 -- Copyright 2002-2011, LAMP/EPFL
I want to update this to 2.11.8. I downloaded the tar file
scala-2.11.8.tgz
and untared it to get
scala-2.11.8
folder in "/home/hdadmin/" location.
But still when I check the scala-version again it shows the same 2.9.2 version. It is picking scala version from
/usr/bin/scala
instead of
/home/hdadmin/scala-2.11.8
Is there a way to change this path?
I tried uninstalling & reinstalling scala using commands below:
sudo apt-get remove scala
sudo apt-get remove scala-library scala
sudo apt-get install scala
But the same version(2.9.2) gets installed because I think it comes by default with Java(1.8) that I have. There are some very unclear option online to update using sbt or deb or in the link http://osgux.tumblr.com/post/44635945407/install-scala-2-10-0-in-ubuntu.
I need to know if there is a direct way to update scala version.
