Try out SBT Console

1. After IntelliJ IDEA restarts, either load an existing Scala project or create an empty Scala project
2. Click on SBT console in lower left corner:
3. Click on the play icon:
4. IntelliJ will download SBT and Scala jars then display the SBT command-line:

Configure SBT gen-idea command for the current user

1. Make directories if missing:
   

   Shell mkdir ~/.sbt/plugins 1 mkdir ~/.sbt/plugins

2. Add the SBT plugin for generating IntelliJ IDEA project files, edit ~/.sbt/plugins/build.sbt:
   

   Default resolvers += "Sonatype snapshots" at "http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/" addSbtPlugin("com.github.mpeltonen" % "sbt-idea" % "1.2.0-SNAPSHOT") 1 2 3 resolvers += "Sonatype snapshots" at "http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/"   addSbtPlugin("com.github.mpeltonen" % "sbt-idea" % "1.2.0-SNAPSHOT")

3. Load ~/.sbt/plugins/build.sbt, by entering reload in the SBT console:
   

   Default > reload [info] downloading http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/com/github/mpeltonen/sbt-idea_2.9.2_0.12/1.2.0-SNAPSHOT/sbt-idea-1.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar ...

4. Use any existing build.sbt or create a blank build.sbt (see SBT: Standard build.sbt for Scala) then invoke at SBT console:
   

   Default > gen-idea 1 > gen-idea

5. After downloads complete and generation is complete, click Ok and IntelliJ will restart
   

   Note	the SBT plugin will automatically download the appropriate Scala compiler version. This is a separate instance from any instance of the Scala compiler you may have installed already.
