Functional Programming in scala

Step-by-step guide for FP in Scala

Installation

I. First Download Scala

Choose the IntelliJ IDEA route

II. Then Download IntelliJ

III. Now follow the "Installation" steps here

IV. In IntelliJ -> (File) -> Preferences -> Plugins you should have the Scala plugin installed. Otherwise do that. You should restart IntelliJ afterwards

Va. Optionally fork this repo

V. Next: File -> New -> Project from Version control

This should clone this (or the forked) repo locally and detect the build.sbt file and automatically install all the correct dependencies

Troubleshooting:

If IntelliJ doesn't detect it's a Scala project you might optionally have to check the Scala download under File -> New Project

Sometimes deleting the project, restarting IntelliJ and recloning (V.) the project fixes things
