How to install sbt for scala on Fedora Linux

How to install sbt for scala on Fedora Linux? It is not included in the default Fedora repository although scala is included.

The download page of scala-sbt.org provides the RPM package.

You can install the sbt rpm package by yum. We only need the URL to the RPM package. Here, let take version 0.13.1 as a example.

#  yum localinstall 
http://repo.scala-sbt.org/scalasbt/sbt-native-packages/org/scala-sbt/sbt/0.13.1/sbt.rpm

yum will download the package and install it.

After installation, you can run

$ sbt

and sbt will download and configure itself.
