It's necessary to use a build tool for any enterprise project. There are lots of build tools that you can choose from, such as Maven, Gradle, Ant, and SBT. A good choice of build tool is the one which will let you focus on coding rather than compilation complexities.

Build with SBT

Here, we are going to give a introduction to SBT. Before going any further, you need to install SBT using the installation method that fits your system from their installations methods (URL: http://www.scala-sbt.org/release/docs/Setup.html).

So, let's begin with SBT to demonstrate the use of SBT in a terminal. For this build tool tutorial, we assume that your source code files are in a directory. You need to do the following:

1. Open the terminal and change path to that directory by using cd,
2. Create a build file called build.sbt.
3. Then, populate that build file with the following lines:
