If you want to do work on your own computer, there are a few pieces of software that you need to install. If you use the Scala One-Click Install it will get you Java and sbt.
Java - Because we are running the JVM version of Scala, the first thing that you need is Java. You might already have it. To determine if you do, open a command prompt and type in "java -version". If you get an error, then you need to install Java from the link. We are using Java 11 and that is what is on the lab computers. If you get a different version number, you might need to uninstall Java and download one of those versions.
git - Under windows I recommend Git for Windows or using the Windows Subsystem for Linux. This will let you do all the git operations on your machine so that you can pull and push the code. Remember that if you are editing code on two computers, when you leave one computer you need to push and when you start working on another computer you need to pull.
sbt - This is the Scala Build Tool. It is both a build and dependency manager for Scala. We use it to compile and run our programs.
VS Code - This is the editor that we are using. Remember that you need to add the Metals extension.
Once you have all of these installed you can clone your repositories and then open them in VS Code and you should be good to go.
